Abstract
A system and method for automated switching of data traffic in a network are described. Data is transmitted along a first virtual circuit among multiple virtual circuits in a network. Next, a failure is detected on the first virtual circuit. As a result, transmission of data is switched from the first virtual circuit to a second virtual circuit among the multiple virtual circuits in the network.
