Providing convergence prioritization for border gateway protocol services across providers/customers

Abstract:

A network device may receive convergence prioritization data identifying one or more handling configurations for border gateway protocol update messages. The network device may assign a plurality of table priority values to a respective plurality of border gateway protocol tables associated with a respective plurality of entities based on parameters included in the convergence prioritization data. The network device may assign a plurality of queue priority values to a respective plurality of queues of the plurality of border gateway protocol tables based on the convergence prioritization data. The network device may create one or more border gateway protocol update messages based on the plurality of queue priority values and based on traversing the plurality of border gateway protocol tables using the plurality of table priority values. The network device may provide the one or more border gateway protocol update messages to one or more other network devices.
