Abstract

Methods and systems wherein a first network device in a first network maintains attribute information for one or more routes to one or more network devices external to the first network. The first network device is configured to identify that a first route to the second network device external to the first network has a particular network traffic management capability, and to update the attribute information to indicate that the first route to the second network device has the network traffic management capability. The first network device is configured to select the first route for a new network packet flow from the first network to the second network device, based on the recorded information, and route the new network packet flow to an external network in the first route. In some implementations, the first network is a software-defined network.
