Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to performing an analysis of application of a routing policy to a route. Specifically, the techniques relate to a command that may be executed to evaluate the steps of the routing policy (e.g., a route map). A copy of a live route map may be made. Receipt of the command may cause the steps of the routing policy to be simulated using the copy. The simulation may return results of analyzing the outcome of each step in the routing policy. Based on the results, an updated routing policy copy may be generated that changes one or more steps in the routing policy. The updated routing policy copy may then be re-simulated to determine if the changes caused the intended effect. If so, the live routing policy may be replaced with the updated routing policy copy.
