METHOD AND SYSTEM OF OVERLAY FLOW CONTROL
First Claim
1. A computerized method of a gateway distributing routes learned through routing protocols (RP) into a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) comprising:
- providing a first gateway that receives a route over a routing protocol;
with the first gateway, redistributing the route to one or more peer routers as a BGP route based on one or more specified criteria;
setting a gateway precedence based on the redistribution of the route to the one or more peer routers as the BGP route; and
based on the gateway precedence, setting a second gateway to automatically redistribute the route with different priorities to influence steering of traffic to a preferred gateway.

Abstract
In one aspect, A computerized method of a gateway distributing routes learned through routing protocols (RP) into a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) includes the step of providing a first gateway that receives a route over a routing protocol. The method includes the step of with the first gateway, redistributing the route to one or more peer routers as a BGP route based on one or more specified criteria. The method includes the step of setting a gateway precedence based on the redistribution of the route to the one or more peer routers as the BGP route. The method includes the step of, based on the gateway precedence, setting a second gateway to automatically redistribute the route with different priorities to influence steering of traffic to a preferred gateway.
