Method and system for on demand selective rerouting of logical circuit data in a data network

摘要

A method and system are provided for on demand selective rerouting of logical circuit data in a data network. Upon a failed logical circuit being identified in the data network, one or more alternative or logical failover circuits for rerouting data from the identified failed logical circuit is displayed in a menu on a display device. A selection of a logical failover circuit is made using a graphical user interface (GUI). Once the selection of the logical failover circuit is received, the data from the failed logical circuit is rerouted to the selected logical failover circuit. Upon receiving the selection of the logical failover circuit from the menu, a determination may be made as to whether a utilization percentage indicate of congestion in the selected logical failover circuit exceeds a predetermined threshold. If the utilization is less than the threshold, then the method logical circuit data is rerouted from the failed logical circuit to the selected logical failover circuit. If the utilization rate exceeds the threshold, then an alert is generated and the selection of an alternative logical failover circuit from the menu is requested.
