Abstract
Various example embodiments for supporting candidate path selection in a communication system are presented. The support for candidate path selection may be based on candidate path preference information of the candidate paths where the candidate path preference information of the candidate paths may be configured for use by network devices in selecting between the candidate paths. The support for candidate path selection based on candidate path preference information of the candidate paths may be provided within the context of candidate path selection which may include failover switching. The support for candidate path selection based on candidate path preference information may be based on support for distribution of the candidate path preference information of the candidate paths to network devices and use of the candidate path preference information of the candidate paths by the network devices to support selection of the candidate paths.
