Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a path management hub and proxy server nodes that form a mesh network. The hub receives link performance metrics from each of the nodes. The hub determines optimal paths between first and second nodes for each of a plurality of metric types or a combination of metric types using the received link performance metrics. The hub maps a service identifier to a plurality of the determined optimal paths for a context representing one or more link performance metric types. The hub transmits a next hop for each of the plurality of mapped optimal paths along with the mapping to the first node. The first node receives the service identifier mapped to the next hops and traffic for the first connection. In response to determining the received traffic is for the service, the first node selects a first next hop and forwards the traffic.
