Abstract
A device receives policy information associated with configuring a network, and receives network information associated with the network. The device determines, based on the network information, that the policy information is associated with implementation of egress peer engineering techniques for the network, and identifies, based on the network information, a first set of destinations of the network that satisfies a particular threshold bandwidth. The device assigns costs and bandwidths to the first set of destinations based on the policy information, and monitors bandwidth utilization by the first set of destinations. The device processes information associated with the first set of destinations, with a model, based on the bandwidth utilization and based on the egress peer engineering techniques, to generate a first set of ranked destinations, and causes traffic in the network to be managed based on the first set of ranked destinations and the policy information.
