Abstract:
Some embodiments move the task of selecting between different transit provider paths from the network level to the application level. Some embodiments perform network level configurations involving a destination network router advertising over a first transit provider path, a unique first address identifying a destination network server as reachable via the first path and advertising over a second transit provider path, a unique second address identifying the destination network server as reachable via the second path. Some embodiments further perform application level configurations involving a source network server passing a first packet to the destination network server over the first path by addressing the first packet to the first address and passing a second packet to the destination network server over the second path by addressing the second packet to the second address. The path selection may be based on policies accounting for congestion, performance, and other metrics.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n tracking at a first server in a first network, a mapping of a destination in a different second network to (i) a first address associated with a first network path connecting the first network to the second network, and (ii) a second address associated with a different second network path connecting the first network to the second network; and sending a packet from the first server to the destination over a network path selected by the first server, wherein the sending comprises setting the destination address for the packet as the first address based on the mapping and sending the packet through the first network path, and wherein the sending further comprises setting the destination address for the packet as the second address based on the mapping and sending the packet through the second network path.
