A communication resource system and method for determining communication product capacity in a communication network based on the physical capacity of individual network components. The communication resource system compiles spare capacity information for the individual network components into information on a quantity of communication products that may be provided based on the capacity available on the individual network components. The communication resource system includes a processing coupled to an interface system. The processing system is configured to process equipment capacity information and circuit capacity information to generate the product capacity information. The interface system is configured to receive the equipment and circuit capacity information and provide the product capacity information for the processing system.
