Abstract
A network path scoring system is disclosed herein that scores 'health' of network paths based on latency data. The system scores health of a network path based on additional latency of the network path for a current time interval, additional latency expected for the network path, and current load. The scoring uses a non-stationary range that is based on expected additional latency (e.g., engineered/injected latency) and coefficient(s) that vary with load.
