Abstract
Method and apparatus for mitigating routing misbehavior in a network is described. In one example, routing protocol traffic is received from a remote router destined for a local router. The routing protocol traffic is parsed to identify a subset of traffic. The subset of traffic is normalized to identify and correct misconfigured routing updates. The routing protocol traffic is provided to the local router. In one embodiment, the subset of traffic is normalized by at least one of detecting and correcting routing protocol semantics, detecting and correcting violations in routing policies, detecting and correcting routing anomalies, or mitigating routing instability.
