Abstract
In one embodiment, a device discovers one or more network interfaces that an endpoint in a local network could use to access an online application. The device identifies a plurality of connectivity options available to the endpoint to access the online application via an external network. The device makes a prediction that a path that comprises a particular connectivity option from among the plurality of connectivity options and a particular network interface from among the one or more network interfaces will provide an optimal quality of experience metric associated with the online application. The device causes the endpoint to use the path to connect to the online application.
