Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and software for modifying a communication path based on latency. In one example, a method of operating a content node to alter a communication path includes identifying latency data for a plurality of end user devices communicating with the content node, and identifying that the one or more end user devices in the plurality of end user devices exceed a latency threshold based on the latency data. The method further includes, in response to identifying that the one or more end user devices in the plurality of end user devices exceed the latency threshold, modifying the communication path between the content node and the one or more end user devices by modifying a domain name system (DNS) configuration for the content node.
