Classification: CPC H | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
a destination network device; and
a routing network device, the destination network device reachable from the routing network device over a first path and a second path through a network, the routing network device comprising:
one or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions; and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
monitoring a network performance metric for the first path and the second path, 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 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 network device;
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 path and the historical data for the second path; and
routing the data flow associated with the application to the destination network device 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.
