The current routing protocol used in the internet backbone is based on manual configuration, making it susceptible to errors. To mitigate these configuration-related issues, it becomes imperative to validate the accuracy and convergence of the algorithm, ensuring a seamless operation devoid of problems. However, the process of network verification faces challenges related to privacy and scalability. This paper addresses these challenges by introducing a novel approach: leveraging privacy-preserving computation, specifically multiparty computation (MPC), to verify the correctness of configurations in the internet backbone, governed by the BGP protocol. Not only does our proposed solution effectively address scalability concerns, but it also establishes a robust privacy framework. Through rigorous analysis, we demonstrate that our approach maintains privacy by not disclosing any information beyond the query result, thus providing a comprehensive and secure solution to the intricacies associated with routing protocol verification in large-scale networks.
