Self-service border gateway protocol (bgp) instantiation

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a computing system and via a user interface ("UI"), a first user input to order a network service, wherein the first user input includes a physical address of each of one or more buildings in which network service is to be provided by a service provider, wherein the first user input further includes a selection of one or more types of network services;
• receiving, by the computing system and via the UI, a second user input to select one or more user-network interface ("UNI") ports for each of at least one customer premises each corresponding to one of the one or more buildings;
• autonomously establishing, by the computing system, a network connection between a gateway device located at a customer premises associated with the physical address and a network node that connects to networks of the service provider, via the one or more UNI ports, based on autonomous configurations that include an exchange of border gateway protocol ("BGP") information between the computing system and the gateway device that is used to establish a BGP session;
• and
• autonomously provisioning, by the computing system, one or more network services over the network connection, via the one or more UNI ports, the one or more network services corresponding to the selection of the one or more types of network services.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a computing system and via a user interface ("UI"), a first user input to select a first network service template among a plurality of network service templates, wherein the first user input includes a physical address of a building in which a network service corresponding to the first network service template is to be provided;
• receiving, by the computing system and via the UI, a second user input to select a first service configuration template from among a plurality of service configuration templates, the first service configuration template corresponding to a service configuration for configuring the network service;
• autonomously establishing, by the computing system, a network connection between a gateway device located at a customer premises associated with the physical address and a network node that connects to networks of a service provider, based on autonomous configurations that include an exchange of border gateway protocol ("BGP") information between the computing system and the gateway device that is used to establish a BGP session;
• autonomously provisioning, by the computing system, the network service over the network connection, based on the first network service template;
• and
• autonomously configuring, by the computing system, the network service based on the first service configuration template.
