Abstract

The system disclosed herein implements an improved end-to-end network performance for data transmissions that span multiple networks operated by different organizations. The improvements are achieved as a result of exchanging routing information. For instance, the exchanged routing information can be representative of network performance factors. When different operators of different networks agree to exchange routing information, an optimal end-to-end path between two endpoint devices can be identified and selected for data transmission. This benefits both network operators as the users served by the networks are more likely to be satisfied with the user experience (e.g., faster download and upload of data).
