Claim 16:
17. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving a gateway preference order associated with a route advertised by an edge node, the edge node associated with a first network;
determining, based at least in part on the gateway preference order, that a gateway node is a more preferred gateway for the route than another gateway node, the gateway node configured to facilitate communications between the first network and a second network;
converting the gateway preference order into a metric associated with an IP routing protocol that is in use in the second network; and
distributing the route including the metric to a communication node associated with the second network such that the gateway node is the more preferred gateway for return traffic of the route.
