Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a network device, cause the network device to:
receive a border gateway protocol (BGP) flow specification route associated with creation of an overlay network slice in a network,
wherein the BGP flow specification route includes data identifying rate limiting flows in the overlay network slice, redirect flows in the overlay network slice, and drop flows in the overlay network slice;

create a new routing instance based on the BGP flow specification route;
associate interfaces defined by the BGP flow specification route with Layer 3 virtual private network (L3VPN) members;
assign, when the BGP flow specification route identifies L3VPN parameters, the L3VPN parameters based on the BGP flow specification route;
generate, when the BGP flow specification route does not identify the L3VPN parameters, the L3VPN parameters; and
advertise the L3VPN parameters within the network to cause the network to generate the overlay network slice.
