Abstract:
1. A method to automatically track rerouting of data in a data network, the method comprising: generating, without manual intervention, a table to store current reroute statistics based on the rerouting of the data from one or more logical circuits, when they have failed, to one or more logical failover circuits in the data network, the current reroute statistics including trap data received for the one or more logical circuits in the data network, the trap data including a committed information rate, and each of the one or more logical circuits and each of the one or more logical failover circuits identified by a logical circuit identifier that is renamed until the one or more logical circuits have been restored from failure; and updating the table, without manual intervention, to store updated reroute statistics, the updated reroute statistics including updated trap data received for the one or more logical circuits in the data network, wherein generating the updated reroute statistics comprises detecting a change in a status of the one or more logical circuits by determining if a frame has been dropped, the frame being dropped when the committed information rate has been exceeded.
