Abstract
A networking device connects to a router and to an autonomous system (AS). The networking device receives a routing table from the router, exchanges routing information with the AS, updates the routing table in response to exchanging information with the AS, coalesces the updated routing table into a compressed routing table, and sends the compressed routing table back to the router. The compressed routing table causes the router to forward data in a manner that is identical to the received routing table.
