Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus for rerouting network traffic flows based on selection criteria are provided. Routers forming data flow paths between network devices in a network may be polled. In response to the poll, network status information may be received from the routers. Based at least in part on the received status information, a rerouting event associated with a first data flow over a first data flow path may be received. Based on one or more selection criteria, a second data flow path may be selected for the first data flow. The first data flow may then be rerouted over the second data flow path.
