Abstract
A method for transmitting, over a transport network, data belonging to a data flow includes creating a proxy network including a plurality of transport network proxies; defining a plurality of proxy pairs; defining a plurality of proxy pair links; determining, for each proxy pair link, a round trip time (RTT) of the respective proxy pair link; determining, using the determined RTTs of the plurality of proxy pair links, a list of one or more preferred paths for each proxy pair, each preferred path connecting, via one or more of the plurality of proxy pair links, one proxy of the respective proxy pair to the other proxy of the respective proxy pair; and transmitting, from an ingress proxy to an egress proxy, the data belonging to the data flow over a proxy pair path selected from the list of preferred proxy pair paths.
