Abstract
Techniques for privileged network routing are provided. As traffic is received at a gateway of a network backbone provider environment it is interrogated for predefined criteria. If the traffic satisfies the predefined criteria, then the information is routed within the network backbone provider environment to use a set of reserved and restricted resources to provide premium service for the traffic being routed through the network backbone provider environment.

A method, comprising:
- determining, by a processor, to route traffic at a network backbone using reserved resources over a privileged network path;
- initiating, by the processor, the traffic over the privileged network path;
- and
- wherein when the traffic traverses to a different network backbone while traversing the privileged network path determining whether to use second reserved resources over the different network backbone or whether to use normal routing on the different network backbone for the traffic.

A method, comprising:
- rerouting, by a processor, network traffic directed to a destination over a privileged infrastructure of a network backbone;
- and
- determining, by the processor, whether to request a second privileged infrastructure of a second network backbone when the network traffic exits the privileged infrastructure and enters the second network backbone on its route to the destination.
A system, comprising:
- a privileged network infrastructure;
- and
- a privileged routing manager adapted and configured to:
- i) execute on a processor, ii) interrogate traffic received at a network backbone to determine whether the traffic is to be rerouted over the privileged network infrastructure, and iii) determine whether when the traffic that utilizes the privileged network infrastructure exits the network backbone whether that traffic is to utilizes a second privileged network infrastructure of a second network backbone in route to a destination of that traffic.
