Abstract
A method and system for leaking routes between routing engines in a communication network. The method and system includes a route distribution service that receives and stores routing information from one or more exporting routers. The stored routing information includes the identity of one or more shared routes and may also include related route exportation criteria such as restrictions on which importing routers may receive shared routes. The route distribution service receives from one or more importing routers a request for one or more shared routes and provides one or more shared routes to the importing router. Importing routers can register with the service in order to receive shared routes or be notified when shared routes become available.
