Abstract
Routing a communication from a first computer system, through a network, to a second computer system, may include determining whether a route through the network meets a metric, and assigning an output address of the first computer system and an input address of the second computer system based on whether the route meets the metric. The communication may be sent from the output address of the first computer system and received at the input address of the second computer system.
