Abstract
Embodiments herein disclose methods for selecting one or more paths for routing application traffic based on application performance metrics for hosted applications. In an embodiment, to select the best path, the available paths can be monitored to understand the performance of specific applications through those paths. Subsequently, the performance data is used to derive an application link score for any given combination of application and path, wherein the application link score is generated as a function of packet delay and packet loss. The ALS is then be used to determine the best path for a given application.
