Abstract

Presented herein are techniques for application criteria-based path selection in a network. An application controller receives endpoint application criteria that specify end-to-end conditions that at least one network is to satisfy when forwarding the at least one packet flow. The application controller evaluates a plurality of different types of end-to-end network paths to determine whether one or more of the plurality of end-to-end network paths satisfies the endpoint application criteria.
