Abstract
Embodiments included herein are directed towards a method for comparing constraint sets. The embodiments may include determining, using at least one processor, at least one arrival propagation time corresponding to at least one endpoint, the at least one endpoint associated with a first constraint set and a second constraint set. The embodiments may further include creating, using the at least one processor, a first tag associated with the first constraint set and a second tag associated with the second constraint set. The embodiments may also include determining, using the at least one processor, at least one of: a non-equivalent path exception corresponding to the at least one endpoint and based at least in part on at least one of the arrival propagation time, the first tag, and the second tag; and an equivalent path exception corresponding to the at least one endpoint.
