Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving network performance metrics for a plurality of paths through a network, each path extending from a customer equipment to an application server for data communication by the customer equipment with an application running on the application server, selecting a selected path among the plurality of paths, wherein the selecting is based on the network performance metrics, and communicating between the customer equipment and the application server according to the selected path. Border gateway protocol (BGP) community values (BGP CV) add BGP performance metrics community values (BPM CV) to convey network performance metrics to provider edge routers and customer premises equipment for network selection. Other embodiments are disclosed.
