Abstract: Systems and methods for route mismatch identification are disclosed herein. A method of route mismatch identification can create in cache an expected routing table based on expected routing information received by a routing agent of a host from a database accessible by each of the plurality of hosts. The method can include creating in cache an actual routing table based on actual routing information received by the routing agent of the host from an advertising agent of the host, comparing the actual routing table and the expected routing table, and taking an action based on the comparison of the actual routing table and the expected routing table.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing an automatic route flip are disclosed herein. The method can include receiving a request to flip a primary route and a secondary route in a communications network including at least a first host and a second host, each including a routing agent and an advertising agent. The method includes identifying the first host as having a dynamic path length and the second host as having a static path length, updating routing information in a database accessible by the first host to change the path length of the first host from a first path length to a second path length, receiving the updated routing information from the database with the routing agent of the first host, and advertising the updated routing information with the first host to at least one switch within the communications network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic network health check are disclosed herein. A method for performing an automatic health check includes determining to perform a health check on a portion of a communications network, the communications network including a plurality of hosts that each include a routing agent and an advertising agent. The method includes adding a test route indicated as applicable to every host and pointing to an IP address to a database, and receiving the test route from the database with the routing agents of at least some of the plurality of hosts.
