Abstract
The present disclosure discloses improvements in computer performance for supporting traffic steering based on a traffic steering capability. The traffic steering capability may be configured to support steering of traffic of a traffic flow, to be supported by a provider core network, along an end-to-end path between a source ingress provider edge router of the provider core network and a destination outside of the provider core network based on determination of the end-to-end path for the traffic flow (e.g., based on end-to-end path performance measurement information that includes internal path performance measurement information of potential internal paths of the provider core network and external path performance measurement information of potential external paths outside of the provider core network) and programming of the provider core network to support steering of the traffic of the traffic flow onto the end-to-end path for the traffic flow (e.g., based on various types of network programming capabilities).
