Abstract
In one embodiment, a device obtains metrics for a plurality of network paths via which traffic for an online application may be conveyed. The device models, for each of the plurality of network paths, uncertainty of an application experience metric predicted for the online application across different values of one or more metrics for that path, based on its obtained metrics. The device generates, based on the uncertainty of the application experience metric modeled for each of the plurality of network paths, a load balancing schedule for the plurality of network paths, to maximize the application experience metric for the online application across the plurality of network paths and with a minimal amount of uncertainty. The device causes traffic for the online application to be load balanced across the plurality of network paths in accordance with the load balancing schedule.
