AUTOMATED NETWORK PEERING IN A SOCIAL-NETWORK MODEL

摘要

Systems are disclosed for automating peering of Autonomous-Systems (ASs). ASs may be registered to a web-based platform. AS Numbers may be provided, profiles generated, and/or peering policies set during registration for presentations enabling evaluation of potential peering sessions between ASs. The web-based platform may automatically represent a peering request, ensure compliance with peering policies, and/or represent a negotiated peering session in a generalized routing policy language. An implementation module may automatically translate the representation to provide a physical connection between ASs in the peering session at a switch system to which they are connected. Also, the implementation module may automatically translate the representation into a distribution configuration implementable on and pushed to one or more routers. The routers may implement the distribution configuration pushed to them to advertise routing information for the peering session to the ASs via preexistent sessions with additional routers in the ASs.
