METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REAL TIME SIMULTANEOUS MONITORING OF LOGICAL CIRCUITS IN A DATA NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for real time simultaneous monitoring of a logical circuit, the method comprising:
- requesting first status information for a first logical connection at a host end of a logical circuit comprising the first logical connection, the logical circuit connecting a host device to a remote device and traversing a first local access and transport area, an inter-exchange carrier, and a second local access and transport area, wherein the first local access and transport area is at the host end of the logical circuit, and wherein the second local access and transport area is at a remote end of the logical circuit;
identifying a logical identifier of the logical circuit based on the first status information;
identifying a second logical connection at the remote end of the logical circuit based on the logical identifier of the logical circuit;
requesting second status information for the second logical connection after identifying the second logical connection; and
displaying whether the logical circuit has failed based on the first and second status information.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for real time simultaneous monitoring of logical circuits. In accordance with an example method, first status information is requested for a first logical connection at a host end of a logical circuit comprising the first logical connection. The logical circuit connects a host device to a remote device and traverses a first local access and transport area, an inter-exchange carrier, and a second local access and transport area. The first local access and transport area is at the host end of the logical circuit, and the second local access and transport area is at a remote end of the logical circuit. A logical identifier of the logical circuit is identified based on the first status information. A second logical connection at the remote end of the logical circuit is identified based on the logical identifier of the logical circuit. Second status information for the second logical connection is requested after identifying the second logical connection. An indication of whether the logical circuit has failed is displayed based on the first and second status information.
