Abstract
Stream path selection within convergent networks. Any one or more different types of metrics (e.g., related to any one or more of delay, packet error rate (PER), link bit rate stability, etc.) may be attached to/associated with various messages communicated within such a convergent network. Such messages may correspond to talker advertise (TA) messaging session relay protocol data units (MSRPDUs). Messages may be advertised over each of or a number of different respective communication links. A communication path, which may be composed of a number of different respective communication links between respective communication devices such that each respective communication link has an associated at least one metric, maybe characterized using one or more of the metrics associated with those different respective communication links. A metric of the communication path may be associated with a relatively lowest metric of the different respective communication links composing the communication path.
