Abstract
A method for peer migration in a distributed Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) system includes: disconnecting a peer relationship between a source BGP process and a network device, wherein first routing information received from the network device is recorded in a forwarding instruction process; establishing a peer relationship between a target BGP process and the network device, and receiving second routing information from the network device; and updating the first routing information recorded in the forwarding instruction process according to the second routing information.
