Abstract
A method for enabling access to varying route attribute states during routing policy application on network devices. Concerning routing policy configurations, it is currently possible to evaluate network routes based on a singular state of one or more route attributes. In some scenarios, however, access to more than one state of the route attribute(s) is desirable. In addressing these scenarios, the disclosed method introduces state namespaces through which different states of the routing attribute(s) are maintained and accessed.
