Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include systems, methods and apparatuses that involve a first device selecting a data tunnel for sending packets of a determined network traffic type to another device. For example, in some implementations, a method includes a first device receiving a first group of packets for forwarding to a second device. The method includes the first device retrieving packet-forwarding rules for forwarding the first group of packets, and selecting a first private network data tunnel from a plurality of private network data tunnels between the first device and the second device, for forwarding a first packet of the first group of packets, based on satisfaction of the retrieved packet-forwarding rules. A respective private network data tunnel is associated with a respective uplink of a plurality of uplinks of the first network device. The first private network data tunnel is associated with a first uplink of the first device.
