Abstract
In accordance with a particular embodiment of the present disclosure, a network element may include a network-side interface configured to communicatively couple to a network and a controller communicatively coupled to the network-side interface. The controller may be configured to periodically receive one or more messages indicative of a delay for each of a plurality of paths for a network flow between the network element and a second network element, periodically compare the delays for the plurality of paths, and select a path for a network flow from the plurality of paths based on the delays.
