US 10,771,309 B1 · Border gateway protocol routing configuration

Abstract

A technology is described for updating an Autonomous System Number (ASN) in a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing configuration. An example method may include receiving a request to update a BGP routing configuration on a gateway with an ASN associated with a customer. In response to the request, the BGP routing configuration on the gateway may be updated to replace a default ASN associated with a computing service provider with the ASN associated with the customer. The BGP routing configuration on the gateway may also be updated to allow the ASN associated with the customer to appear in an Autonomous System (AS) path at least twice, thereby allowing for BGP routes to be exchanged between gateways.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

at least one processor;
a memory device including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
receive a request from a customer of a computing service provider to configure Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing on a virtual gateway for a virtual network with a customer-provided Autonomous System Number (ASN), wherein the virtual network executes on a physical network of the computing service provider;
and
initiate configuration of the BGP routing on the virtual gateway to use the customer-provided ASN instead of a default ASN associated with the computing service provider, wherein the configured BGP routing on the virtual gateway allows the customer-provided ASN to appear in an Autonomous System (AS) path.
