Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for offloading best path computations in a networked computing environment. A method includes storing in memory, by a best path controller, a listing of a plurality of paths learnt by a device, wherein each of the plurality of paths is a route for transmitting data from the device to a destination device. The method includes receiving, by the best path controller, a message from the device. The method includes processing, by the best path controller, a best path computation to identify one or more best paths based on the message such that processing of the best path computation is offloaded from the device to the best path controller. The method includes sending the one or more best paths to the device.
