Abstract:
A system and method enables the balancing of inter-AS traffic from a primary AS to a target AS by adding a virtual node in the primary AS that appears connected to the edge routers that advertise via (I)BGP the ability to forward communications the target AS, and modifying the (I)BGP messages reflected to the primary AS to indicate that only the virtual node may forward communications to the target AS.
