1. A backbone server network of a network service provider, comprising:
- a plurality of backbone servers, the plurality of backbone servers coupled to a first interconnect point with a first carrier network provided by a first carrier and a second interconnect point with a second carrier network provided by a second carrier, the first carrier network and the second carrier network each including a plurality of carrier servers; and
a controller communicably coupled to the plurality of backbone servers, the controller configured to;
receive a request to establish a connection between a start point and an end point, the start and end points being included in one or more of;
the first carrier network, the second carrier network, and the plurality of backbone servers;
analyze a plurality of circuits between the start point and the end point; and
select one of the plurality of circuits based on the analysis, the selected one of the plurality of circuits including at least one of the plurality of backbone servers and at least one carrier server from the first carrier network or the second carrier network.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing distributed network solutions to end user customers by acting as a neutral demarcation point between the last mile and the long haul portion of a telecommunications network. A network provisioning platform evaluates transport alternatives to identify routes and networks having the highest reliability metrics. Access circuits are aggregated to the optical level at the earliest possible point in the network. Service to on-net networks are provisioned rapidly.
