1. A method, comprising: receiving, at an edge router, an update message from a neighboring external border gateway protocol (EBGP) edge router; creating, by the edge router, a modified origin validation state extended community based on the information in the update message using a processor; preparing, by the edge router, a modified update message with the processor by attaching the modified origin validation state extended community to the update message; sending, by the edge router, the modified update message to a route reflector; receiving, at the edge router, a validation message from the route reflector, wherein the validation message is generated on the route reflector and announced by the route reflector to each edge router capable of receiving validation messages from the route reflector; parsing the validation message using the processor at the edge router; and inheriting, at the edge router, a validation state parsed from the validation message.
