Abstract
In one embodiment, a device in a network receives in-situ operations administration and management (iOAM) data regarding a plurality of traffic flows in the network. The iOAM data comprises entropy values for the plurality of traffic flows. The device receives network topology information indicative of network paths available in the network. The device generates a machine learning-based entropy topology model for the network based on the received iOAM data and the received network topology information. The entropy topology model maps path selection predictions for the network paths with entropy values. The device uses the entropy topology model to cause a particular traffic flow to use a particular network path.
