Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) identifying a plurality of network paths within a network, (2) identifying a plurality of network services offered via the network, (3) creating a virtual path topology that represents a select grouping of the network paths that (A) originate from a single ingress node within the network and (B) lead to a plurality of egress nodes within the network, (4) mapping at least one of the network services to the virtual path topology, and (5) providing the at least one of the network services to at least one computing device via at least one of the network paths included in the select grouping represented by the virtual path topology. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
