Abstract
A method which can be implemented on a computer program product for use on a network of autonomous systems to provide an ability to exclude the routing of messages to a destination IP address through a specified autonomous system. On a network in which each autonomous system ignores update messages that already include its identification number and adds it own identification number to update messages that it forwards, the method involves adding the identification number of the specified autonomous system to any update message created for the destination IP address.
