Abstract
Moving a virtual circuit from one port interface to another when multiple port interfaces are present between two network devices. Such a move may be performed, for example, when a port interface fails or when needed to balance the load (e.g., aggregate amount of bandwidth of all virtual circuits presently assigned to a port interface) across multiple port interfaces. As a result, the port interfaces may be used efficiently.
