Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, computer-storage media, mechanisms, and means associated with validation of routes advertised by Border Gateway Protocol. One embodiment validates or invalidates a route received in a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) update message. A route is validated in response to determining that the originating autonomous system specified in the AS_Path attribute for the route in a received BGP update message has authority to advertise the route and/or whether or not multiple autonomous systems identified in the AS_Path attribute of the update message is authorized to advertise the route, possibly in a particular order.
