Abstract: A technology is described for updating an Autonomous System Number (ASN) in a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing configuration. An example method may include receiving a request to update a BGP routing configuration on a gateway with an ASN associated with a customer. In response to the request, the BGP routing configuration on the gateway may be updated to replace a default ASN associated with a computing service provider with the ASN associated with the customer. The BGP routing configuration on the gateway may also be updated to allow the ASN associated with the customer to appear in an Autonomous System (AS) path at least twice, thereby allowing for BGP routes to be exchanged between gateways.

Abstract: A request to establish an encrypted VPN connection between a network external to a provider network connected to the provider network via a dedicated direct physical link and a set of resources of the provider network is received. A new isolated virtual network (IVN) is established to implement an encryption virtual private gateway to be used for the connection. One or more protocol processing engines (PPEs) are instantiated within the IVN, address information of the one or more PPEs is exchanged with the external network and a respective encrypted VPN tunnel is configured between each of the PPEs and the external network. Routing information pertaining to the set of resources is provided to the external network via at least one of the encrypted VPN tunnels, enabling routing of customer data to the set of resources within the provider network from the external network via an encrypted VPN tunnel implemented over a dedicated direct physical link between the external network and the provider network.

Abstract: A physical interconnect having multiple virtual paths is coupled between network devices of independent networks operated by different entities. In one aspect, the interconnect is monitored so that the entities can simultaneously and separately monitor network traffic being exchanged across the interconnect. Each entity can be assigned two virtual paths through the interconnect to pass network traffic through their network device, over the interconnect, through a network device of the other entity, back over the interconnect link and back through their network device. The network devices can be configured to loop back network packets using a variety of loopback configurations. Hardware policers that monitor capacity usage of the virtual paths can also be tested.
