1. A method comprising:
monitoring a network performance metric for a first path to a destination through a network and a second path to the destination through the network, the network performance metric associated with an application, the application being subject to a service level agreement based on the monitored network performance metric;
storing historical performance data for the first path and for the second path based on the monitored network performance metric of the first path and the second path;
receiving a data flow associated with the application and directed to the destination;, determining whether the first path and the second path satisfy the service level agreement associated with the application;
selecting the first path or the second path based on the historical performance data for the first second path; and
routing the data flow associated with the application to the destination along the selected path, wherein the first path or the second path is selected in response to a determination that neither the first path nor the second path satisfy the service level agreement.
