Abstract
Measures, including methods, systems and computer program products, for use in processing route data in a network comprising a plurality of autonomous systems. At a network device, route data defining at least one route for network traffic which is configured on at least one border network device is received from the at least one border network device. The at least one border network device is located at a border of an autonomous system in the plurality of autonomous systems. The network device processes the received route data according to a set of policies to generate modified route data. The network device transmits at least a part of the modified route data to the at least one border network device. The at least part of the modified route data is operable to instruct the at least one border network device to modify the behavior of the at least one route.
