  • Methods and systems for provisioning and maintaining a circuit in a data network
    Patent number: 8200802
    Abstract: A disclosed example method involves at a network management module, receiving a request for logical circuit data associated with a network circuit. In addition, the example method involves requesting the logical circuit data from a legacy logical element in communication with a network device of the network circuit. The logical circuit data is received from the legacy logical element. The logical circuit data is indicative of whether the network circuit has failed.

  • Method and system for provisioning and maintaining a circuit in a data network
    Patent number: 7890618
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for provisioning a circuit in a data network without manual intervention. A network management module receives an order for provisioning the circuit and then, based on the order, transmits a request to a legacy logical element module to configure a logical circuit in one or more network devices in the network. The network device may be a switch. The circuit may be a frame relay circuit or an ATM circuit. A method and system are also provided for maintaining a network circuit in a data network. The network circuit includes both a logical circuit and a physical circuit. A legacy physical element module sends a request for logical circuit data to a legacy logical element module through a network management module in communication with the legacy physical element module and the legacy physical element module.

  • Method and system for obtaining logical performance data for a circuit in a data network
    Patent number: 7391734
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for obtaining logical performance data for a network circuit in a data network. The network circuit includes both a logical circuit and a physical circuit. A legacy physical element module sends a request for logical performance data to a logical element module through a network management module in communication with the legacy physical element module and the legacy physical element module. Based on the request, the logical element module retrieves the logical performance data from one or more network devices in the network and transmits the data to the legacy physical element module through the network management module. Upon receiving the logical performance data, the legacy physical element module uses the performance data to troubleshoot the physical circuit. The network device may be a switch. The circuit may be a frame relay circuit or an ATM circuit.
