Abstract
Systems and techniques are described for configuring path selection in a network. The network can comprise a first router, a second router, a third router, a fourth router, and an intermediary device. The second router can be configured to use Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) while routing packets so that packets with a first DSCP value are routed through the third router, and packets with a second DSCP value are routed through the fourth router. The intermediary device can be configured to: (1) transparently intercept a packet forwarded by the first router to the second router, (2) determine whether the packet is to be routed through the third router or the fourth router, (3) modify a DSCP field in the packet based on said determining, and (4) forward the packet to the second router.
