  • Identifying border gateway protocol (BGP) anomalies at scale
    Patent number: 11444828
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) are provided. In one implementation, a computer-readable medium comprises instructions that, when executed, cause a network element to perform the steps of maintaining and tracking states of multiple Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peers and routes while operating BGP within one or more Autonomous Systems. The instructions further cause the network element to detect one or more anomalies, based on the maintaining and tracking, as a number of the multiple BGP peers and/or routes scale in the one or more Autonomous Systems. Also, the instructions cause the network element to cause the processing of one or more remedial actions based on the one or more detected anomalies.
