METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING NETWORK PATHS
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving network information associated with one or more network links, one or more network nodes, and a network hub;
identifying at least two network paths from at least one of the one or more network nodes to the network hub based on the network information;
determining a number of hops for each identified network path;
determining a latency of each link for each identified network path;
summing the latencies of each link for each identified network path to calculate a total network path latency; and
determining a ranking of the network paths based at least in part on the number of hops and the total network path latency.

Abstract
A method and system of an embodiment may include receiving network information associated with one or more network links, one or more network nodes, and a network hub, identifying at least two network paths from at least one of the one or more network nodes to the network hub based on the network information. Identifying at least two network paths from at least one of the one or more network nodes to the network hub based on the network information may include determining a number of hops for each identified network path, determining a latency of each link for each identified network path, summing the latencies of each link for each identified network path to calculate a total network path latency, and determining a ranking of the network paths based at least in part on the number of hops and the total network path latency.
