Abstract

An apparatus for system selection includes a processing element. The processing element may be configured to commence a search for a network service system, determine whether a real-time application is active, and select a network service system in response to a determination that the real-time application is active according to a preference order that is different than an order of preference for network service systems for use if the real-time application is not active.
