Abstract

Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method of determining a cost for a routing path in a network. The method includes: receiving a first metric for a plurality of links in a network, the first metric being a routing metric used to determine routing in the network; determining a routing path including a subset of the links based on the first metric, the routing path having an initial cost based on the first metric; receiving second metric information including a second metric that is different from the first metric; and calculating a corrected cost for the routing path based on the second metric.
