Claim 14:
15. A first proxy network element, comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, if executed by the processor, will cause the server to perform operations including:
establishing a first transport protocol connection between the first proxy network element and a second proxy network element;
receiving, at the first proxy network element from a first Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) client, first BGP data destined to a second BGP client that is connected to the second proxy network element;
transmitting the first BGP data to the second proxy network element through the first transport protocol connection for delivery to the second BGP client;
receiving, at the first proxy network element from the first BGP client, second BGP data destined to the second BGP client;
determining that the first transport protocol connection is down, and responsive to this determination, storing the second BGP data at the first proxy network element;
establishing a second transport protocol connection between the first proxy network element and the second proxy network element; and
transmitting the second BGP data to the second proxy network element through the second transport protocol connection for delivery to the second BGP client.
