1. A method of rerouting data, comprising:

  • determining a status of a logical circuit in a data network, the status including at least one of a committed information rate or a committed burst size;

    detecting a failure of the logical circuit based on determining that the at least one of the committed information rate or the committed burst size has been exceeded; and

    rerouting data from the logical circuit to a logical failover circuit in the data network in response to detecting the failure of the logical circuit, wherein the logical failover circuit comprises an alternative communication path for communicating the data.
