Abstract
Exemplary embodiments relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for managing access resources in an Internet protocol network. Methods include receiving a request for IP network service, the request including a required class of service. A storage device that specifies routers and resources available on the routers is accessed. A router and a port on that router are selected from the specified routers to perform the requested service. The selecting includes verifying that the resources available on the selected router and port can perform the requested service. Instructions are transmitted to a network configuration system to activate the requested service on the selected router and port. The instructions specify a quality of service corresponding to the required class of service. The storage device is updated to reflect the requested service being activated on the selected router and port.
