Abstract
A first transport protocol connection is established between a first proxy network element and a second proxy network element. The first proxy network element receives from a first Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) client, first BGP data destined to a second BGP client that is connected to the second proxy network element. The first BGP data is transmitted to the second proxy network element through the first transport protocol connection for delivery to the second BGP client. The first proxy network element receives second BGP data destined to the second BGP client. Responsive to determining that the first transport protocol connection is down, the first proxy network element stores the second BGP data and establishes a second transport protocol connection to the second proxy network element. The second BGP data is transmitted to the second proxy network element through the second transport protocol connection.
