    Abstract: A network node may include one or more processors. The one or more processors may receive a message that is associated with one or more signatures and one or more second signatures. The one or more signatures may have been validated by a particular node. The one or more processors may determine that the particular node is a trusted node. The network node may be configured not to validate signatures that have been validated by a trusted node. The one or more processors may determine that the one or more signatures have been validated by the particular node. The one or more processors may sign or provide the message, without validating the one or more signatures, based on determining that the one or more signatures have been validated by the particular node.

    Abstract: Responsive to receiving the BGP UPDATE message, a route reflector may (1) update a CLUSTER_LIST value and, if needed, an ORIGINATOR_ID value, in a path attribute section in the BGP UPDATE message to generate a revised BGP UPDATE message, and (2) send the revised BGP UPDATE message to a client of the route reflector, regardless of whether or not one of (A) field validity checking of the BGP UPDATE message, (B) Adj-RIBS-In update using the BGP UPDATE message, (C) decision processing for route selection using information in the BGP UPDATE message, or (D) Adj-RIBS-Out update using the BGP UPDATE message, is completed (or perhaps even started). This provides faster route propagation and avoids delays associated with processing BGP UPDATE messages (NLRI with advertisements and withdrawals) at each hop the NLRIs using conventional BGP such as next-hop validation, best path selection, etc.
