Abstract
In a network system, network switching devices such as routers may store routes to various networks. The system may on occasion be reconfigured, e.g., as new network switching devices are brought on line, or as servers are moved to new locations. Such reconfiguring may involve the storing of new routes in a network switching device, or the deletion of routes stored in a network switching device. As such, systems and methods for cloaking routes are provided.
