Abstract: A network device receives utilization information, for an infrastructure network, that provides data for individual segments of the infrastructure network. Based on the data for the individual segments, the network device generates a costing matrix that includes prices for each segment of the individual segments. The network device identifies particular segments of the infrastructure network associated with an end-to-end path for a subscriber and generates pricing of different service levels for the end-to-end path. The pricing is based on the costing matrix and a particular time period. The network device provides, to the subscriber, a user interface that includes service plan options with the pricing of different service levels for the end-to-end path and receives, via the user interface, a selection of one of the service plan options. The network device sends instructions to provision the infrastructure network to support the selected service plan option.
