Abstract
The present technology is directed to generating a common Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) attribute, for example, BGP-Slice Identifier (ID) for a specific network slice and stitching the network slice across one or more domains to realize end-to-end slicing. The present technology can generate BGP ID for a specific network slice spanning a plurality of domains and map domain-specific attributes associated with sub-slices of the specific network slice in different domains of the plurality of domains to the BGP ID. The present technology can further facilitate distribution of the mapping of the domain-specific attributes to the BGP ID across the plurality of domains for stitching the sub-slices together from the domain-specific attributes based on the BGP ID to stitch the specific network slice across the plurality of domains. Furthermore, the present technology can identify a configuration error in the mapping of the domain-specific attributes and the BGP ID and transmit a feedback informing the existence of the error for performing remedial measures.
