Abstract

See full text

A method and system are provided for automatically rerouting logical circuit data in a data network. A failure is identified in a logical circuit in a data network. The logical circuit may include a communication path for communicating data. Once the failure in the logical circuit is determined, a logical failover circuit is then identified. The logical failover circuit includes an alternate communication path for communicating the data for the failed logical circuit. After the logical failover circuit has been identified, the data from the failed logical circuit is rerouted to the logical failover circuit without manual intervention. After the data has been rerouted the logical failover circuit, a determination is made as to whether the failure in the logical circuit has been corrected. If it is determined that the failure in the logical circuit has been corrected, then the data from the logical failover circuit is rerouted back to the logical circuit in the data network without manual intervention.
