System and method for identifying route dampening in a hybrid multi-cloud network

A system for managing route information in a distributed network environment, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
• monitor routing information associated with a plurality of routes within the distributed network environment;
• record a stability value for each of the plurality of routes;
• classify the plurality of routes into a first set of routes comprising routes identified as unstable based on the stability value and a second set of routes comprising routes identified as stable;
• process the first set of routes and the second set of routes according to different processing paths, wherein
• the first set of routes is processed through a first processing path that limits or defers computational operations associated with route updates, and
• the second set of routes is processed through a second processing path that updates a network representation reflecting current route information;
• and
• store or provide information identifying at least the first set of routes as routes exhibiting unstable behaviour.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• monitoring routing information associated with a plurality of routes within a distributed network environment;
• recording a stability value for each of the plurality of routes;
• classifying the plurality of routes into a first set of routes comprising routes identified as unstable based on the stability value and a second set of routes comprising routes identified as stable;
• processing the first set of routes and the second set of routes according to different processing paths, wherein
• the first set of routes is processed through a first processing path that limits or defers computational operations associated with route updates, and
• the second set of routes is processed through a second processing path that updates a network representation reflecting current route information;
• and
• storing or providing information identifying at least the first set of routes as routes exhibiting unstable behaviour.
