Systems and methods to choose an optimal path from multiple high latency links

Abstract:

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for selecting a path or link from a plurality of links between intermediary devices, based on characteristics of links between the intermediary devices and end nodes of the communication flow. The link choice may be determined from latency, packet drop rates, jitter, congestion, or other characteristics of the links to the end nodes. Link selection may further be based on traffic priority or transport layer quality of service (QoS) requirements of the connection, load balancing requirements, or other such features.
