Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, selecting between paths for traffic to be routed between a communication device and an application of a cloud service provider, where the selecting is based on receiving or otherwise obtaining a local path identifier (e.g., announced by a local RIB associated with an intra-metro network over which a local path is connected); and routing the traffic between the communication device and the application of the cloud service provider via the local path responsive to the local path identifier, where the local path bypasses or otherwise avoids an MPLS core, and where a non-local path of the paths is over the MPLS core. Other embodiments are disclosed.
