Abstract
In one embodiment, a device predicts, for each of a plurality of applications accessible via a network, quality metrics for different network paths where traffic for that application be routed via one or more paths among the different network paths. The device generates a congestion risk prediction model that predicts a risk of traffic congestion for a particular combination of: applications from among the plurality of applications, traffic flows associated with those applications, and paths among the network paths via which those traffic flows may be routed. The device performs a constrained optimization based on the predicted quality metrics and on the risk of traffic congestion predicted by the model, to assign traffic flows for the applications to a selected subset of the different paths. The device causes the traffic flows to be routed in the network via the selected subset of the different paths to which they are assigned.
