Abstract
A router policy server may include a policy engine. The policy engine may receive, from a first router, a request for whether to accept or reject routing information received from a second router and determine whether a policy, associated with the second router, allows the second router to advertise the routing information. The policy engine may further instruct the first router to accept the routing information when the policy allows the second router to advertise the routing information and may instruct the first router to reject the routing information when the policy does not allow the second router to advertise the routing information or when no policy exists for the second router in association with the policy engine.
