Route signaling driven service management

A system, comprising:

• a network;
• and
• a plurality of network devices connected by the network, wherein each network device includes a memory and one or more processors connected to the memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• identify defined events in each of a plurality of applications, wherein the plurality of applications includes a first application and wherein the defined events include a first defined event associated with the first application;
• assign a signal-route to each defined event, wherein assigning a signal-route to each defined event includes assigning a first signal-route to the first defined event;
• execute the first application;
• detect occurrence of the first defined event within the executing first application;
• and
• in response to detecting occurrence of the first defined event within the first application executing on the first network device, modify one or more services provided by another one of the network devices, where modifying one or more services includes:
• modifying a routing information base (RIB), wherein modifying includes changing the RIB by adding the first signal-route to or removing the first signal-route from the RIB;
• and
• advertising the change in the RIB.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:

• identify defined events in each of a plurality of applications, wherein the plurality of applications includes a first application and wherein the defined events include a first defined event associated with the first application;
• assign a signal-route to each defined event, wherein assigning a signal-route to each defined event includes assigning a first signal-route to the first defined event;
• execute the first application;
• detect occurrence of the first defined event within the executing first application;
• and
• in response to detecting occurrence of the first defined event within the first application, modify one or more services, where modifying one or more services includes:
• modifying a routing information base (RIB), wherein modifying includes changing the RIB by adding the first signal-route to or removing the first signal-route from the RIB;
• and
• advertising the change in the RIB.
