Abstract

A path in a network is selected by selecting candidate overlay paths between two nodes in the network based on a static network metric determined for each of a plurality of overlay paths. A time sensitive network metric is determined for each of the candidate overlay paths, and a path is selected from the candidate overlay paths based on the time sensitive network metrics.
