Claim 16:
17. A first network device, comprising:
a non-transitory memory configured to store instructions; and
one or more processors coupled to the non-transitory memory, wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to be configured to:
obtain a flow effective time parameter and a route related to the flow effective time parameter, wherein the flow effective time parameter comprises a start time value and a duration value, and wherein the flow effective time parameter indicates that the route is effective in a time interval specified by the flow effective time parameter;
generate a message, wherein the message carries the flow effective time parameter and the route, wherein the message indicates a second network device to process service traffic corresponding to the route in the time interval, and wherein the message is an extended Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) update message; and
