Abstract
In one embodiment, a central device receives a routing strategy instruction that specifies a predictability threshold for communication delays in the network. The device estimates communication delays for a plurality of paths in the network and determines predictability measurements for the estimated delays. The device also selects, from among the plurality of paths, a particular path that has a predictability measurement that satisfies the predictability threshold and has a minimal estimated delay. The central device further installs the particular path at one or more other devices in the network.
