Optimizing Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) traffic using Reinforcement Learning

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media including software logic are provided for optimizing Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) traffic in a telecommunications network. In one embodiment, systems and methods include, with a current state of one or more inter-Autonomous Systems (AS) links, causing performance of an action in the telecommunication network, determining a metric based on the action to determine an updated current state of the one or more inter-AS links, and utilizing the metric to perform a further action to achieve one or more rewards associated with the one or more inter-AS links.
