Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices are described for determining a preferred routing path for communicating source data from a data source to a data terminal over a network having multiple routing path options. Embodiments include receiving a source dataset at a network node; determining multiple routing path options for routing the source dataset, each comprising a set of communication links that communicatively couple the data source with the data terminal; determining a hierarchical encoding scheme for encoding the source dataset to generate a transmission; generating routing path profiles for each routing path option by evaluating each routing path option against a routing metric; determining a preferred routing path for routing the transmission by comparing the routing path profiles; and routing the transmission over the preferred routing path according to the hierarchical encoding scheme.
