PREDICTIVE BGP PEERING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18118769 titled 'PREDICTIVE BGP PEERING
The abstract describes a device that determines a mapping between a network destination and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peers across multiple autonomous systems. The device performs probing tests along various paths to the network destination and BGP peers to gather path performance measurements. It then uses a prediction model to generate predicted performance metrics for these paths based on the measurements. The device configures the BGP peers with peering policies based on the predicted performance metrics to direct application traffic through specific paths.

Original Abstract Submitted
In one embodiment, a device determines a mapping between a network destination and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peers located across a plurality of autonomous systems for which the network destination is reachable. The device causes, based on the mapping, performance of probing tests along a plurality of paths to the network destination and via the BGP peers, to obtain path performance measurements for the plurality of paths. The device uses a prediction model to generate predicted performance metrics for the plurality of paths based on the path performance measurements. The device configures, based on the predicted performance metrics for the plurality of paths, the BGP peers with BGP peering policies to convey application traffic associated with the network destination via particular path from among the plurality of paths.
