Abstract
A restoral route generation process combines elements of a pre-plan methodology with a dynamic route generation methodology. The resulting hybrid approach quickly produces a restoral route in real time that has a minimal associated cost. The hybrid approach pre-generates sub-routes that are combined to produce a restoral route. The combining of the sub-routes takes place dynamically in response to a network failure. The hybrid approach may interactively operate to generate restoral routes for each trunk in the network that is affected by an outage.
