Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) identifying a plurality of routes that lead to a plurality of eBGP peers that represent portions of network paths, (2) assigning a plurality of labels to the routes that lead to the eBGP peers, (3) advertising the labels to an iBGP peer to enable the iBGP peer to make routing decisions identified by the labels, (4) receiving, from the iBGP peer, traffic that is destined for an endpoint device and includes a label that (A) was selected by the iBGP peer and (B) corresponds to a specific route that leads to a specific eBGP peer, and then (5) forwarding the traffic to the endpoint device along the specific route that leads to the specific eBGP peer based at least in part on the label selected by the iBGP peer. Various other methods, systems, and apparatuses are also disclosed.
