Technologies are disclosed for performing context-aware routing of traffic based on an application of a series of filters and/or selectors to determine an optimal group of interfaces for servicing traffic relating to a prefix. A traffic management control plane processes input data corresponding to aggregated telemetry data for a network by determining candidate groups of interfaces to service a network prefix and applies tunable filters and/or selectors to the candidate groups to determine a targeted group to use for servicing traffic corresponding to the prefix. The determined targeted group is mapped to the prefix in a mapping result, which is then provided to an actuator interface to control network devices to inject the new mapping into the network to control traffic according to the mapping.

Network traffic management

A detection mechanism is disclosed for identifying peers transmitting network traffic towards a cloud provider using routing prefixes that were not advertised for that peer. Once detected, an alarm condition can occur and the peer notified to remove any static route configurations. In one embodiment, a collector server computer can be used to acquire routing prefixes advertised to a peer. A second server computer can be used to obtain network traffic received from the peer. A comparison can then be made between the advertised prefixes and the network traffic being received. If network traffic is being received for unadvertised prefixes, then an alarm condition can occur. The detection mechanism can regularly inspect active traffic flows against BGP route advertisements at fixed intervals. For peers that are identified that are not in compliance with route advertisements, the alarm condition can occur for follow-up remediation.
