Automated service delivery based on automated identifier discovery

摘要

The present disclosure generally discloses an automated service delivery capability for use in automating service delivery in a communication system. The automated service delivery capability may be configured to support, in a communication system in which communication between routers at sites of a first entity (e.g., communication service provider) is supported using a layer-2 circuit provided by a communication network of a second entity (e.g., communication network provider), automated discovery of the layer-2 circuit identifier of the layer-2 circuit by the first entity even though the layer-2 circuit is provided by the second entity and the first entity has limited or no visibility into the communication network of the second entity. The automated discovery of the layer-2 circuit identifier of the layer-2 circuit by the first entity enables the first entity to support automated service delivery using communication between the sites of the first entity based on the layer-2 circuit provided by the second entity.
