Abstract
A network communications method includes receiving, at a first networking device, a request for a network resource from a client device via a first communication path of a wide area network. The method includes obtaining first diagnostic information indicating an amount of transmission delay or packet loss for communications transmitted through the first communication path, and obtaining second diagnostic information for a second communication path between the client device and a second networking device. The method includes comparing the first and second diagnostic information to estimate whether the second communication path will enable faster transmission of communications than the first communication path. If the second communication path is estimated to enable faster transmission of communications, then the method further comprises serving data of the network resource or data of objects referenced by the network resource to the client device from the second networking device via the second communication path.
