Abstract:
1. A method for path selection within a network utilizing characterizations of multiple communication paths within the network which vary in transmission behavior across the network, the method comprising: determining a packet for a communication session was previously routed on a one way transmission across a selected first path within the network from a source node to a destination node in accordance with a flow record comprising a measured transmit time at the source node and an arrival time at the destination node for the one way transmission across the selected first path, wherein the packet is a member of a set of sequenced packets tagged for transmission; and adding a configurable impedance to a queuing time for subsequent packets of the set of sequenced packets to be transmitted from the source node to the destination node across the selected first path prior to switching to a second path within the network from the source node to the destination node.
