  • receiving at a network provisioning system a customer-generated route advertisement modification request to cause one of (a) provisioning a new route advertisement or (b) withdrawal of an existing route advertisement;

    validating the new route advertisement when the customer-generated route advertisement modification constitutes provisioning of said new route advertisement and rejecting said new route advertisement if unable to be verified;

    entering the customer-generated route advertisement modification into an official routing database to make such route advertisement modification available to providers of network access; and

    periodically checking at least one of such providers of network access to verify whether such route advertisement modification remains effective.
