Publication number: 20250126045Abstract: A process can include determining affinity information indicative of route preferences between branch routers and gateway routers. A prefix can be determined for a subnet of branch routers located at a same branch location. An affinity position of a first gateway router can be determined based on affinity information of the branch routers in the subnet. A mapping can be determined between a local preference Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) community attribute and the affinity position of the first gateway router, wherein a mapped local preference BGP community attribute and the affinity position are indicative of a same routing preference. The mapped local preference BGP community attribute can be attached to routes from the first gateway router into a cloud service provider. Affinity-based route preferences are indicated to the cloud service provider by redistributing the routes from the first gateway router with the mapped local preference BGP community attribute attached.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2023Publication date: April 17, 2025Inventors: Balaji Sundararajan, Michael Moskal, Satish Kumar Mahadevan, Vivek Agarwal, Pradeep Kanavihalli Subramanyasetty, Prabahar Radhakrishnan, Samir Thoria, Pritam Baruah, Samantha Misra, Shailendra Vinod Pardeshi
