Abstract

Embodiments are directed to a sender side of a network communication, being sent from a sender to a destination over a network path, expressing certain conditions and actions in a form of a script and encoding the script into network packets, thus enabling routing decisions to be made. Routing devices along the network path are equipped with an execution environment and an application program interface (API) to allow the script to execute and intervene (i.e., “talk” with the routing device) in the routing process. Embodiments provided herein may be implemented to coexist with other existing routing protocols or may completely replace other existing routing protocols.
