Abstract
Embodiments are provided for managing routes of data traffic within a network. The management may be performed via a graphical user interface that interacts with a Web server to update a configuration file. The configuration file can be converted to router management commands by a network management device (e.g., a BGP speaker). The commands can then be sent to a border routers for controlling network traffic. Embodiments are also provided for capturing and logging routing updates made in a network.
