Abstract
A method of migrating traffic in a network includes receiving, via an API, a request to migrate traffic. The request identifies a target around which the traffic is to be migrated and a peer to which the traffic is to be migrated. The method also includes discovering at least one anchor point based on at least a topology of the network, the target, and the peer. The method includes, based on an identity of the at least one anchor point and the target, identifying a migration mechanism. The method also includes requesting, in accordance with the migration mechanism, that the at least one anchor point facilitate migration of the traffic. The method includes responding, through the API, to the request indicating whether the migration was successful.
