Methods and systems for automatically tracking the rerouting of logical circuit data in a data network
First Claim
1. A method to automatically track rerouting of data in a network, the method comprising:
- providing, with a network management module of a network management system, current reroute statistics in a data structure based on the rerouting of the data from a logical circuit that has failed to a logical failover circuit in the network, the current reroute statistics including a committed information rate corresponding to the logical circuit in the network, the logical circuit identified by a first logical circuit identifier, the logical failover circuit identified by a second logical circuit identifier, the first and second logical circuit identifiers renamed until the logical circuit has been restored from failure; and
providing, with the network management module, updated reroute statistics based on a change in a status of the logical circuit resulting from the committed information rate having been exceeded.

Abstract
An example method involves providing, with a network management module of a network management system, current reroute statistics in a data structure based on the rerouting of the data from a logical circuit that has failed to a logical failover circuit in the network. The current reroute statistics include a committed information rate corresponding to the logical circuit in the network. The logical circuit is identified by a first logical circuit identifier. The logical failover circuit is identified by a second logical circuit identifier. The first and second logical circuit identifiers are renamed until the logical circuit has been restored from failure. Updated reroute statistics are provided, with the network management module, based on a change in a status of the logical circuit resulting from the committed information rate having been exceeded.
