Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for enabling distributed path computation and centralized path enforcement in a computer network used to implement a software application. In some cases, the disclosed techniques include using a central controller that initializes and coordinates monitoring agents deployed to network regions. The monitoring agents may collect monitoring data associated with application segments in their respective regions and share this data with each other. Using the aggregated data, the agents can compute optimal paths between application segment pairs spanning multiple regions. The optimal inter-region paths may be sent to the controller, which can program the paths into the routing application programming interfaces (APIs) of the various network environments like public cloud and on-premises networks.
