Abstract: In a network, communications between nodes in the network can be routed along different communication pathways. The network can include subnetworks provided and administered by third parties, and can include virtual private networks (VPNs), so that the different pathways can be or include VPN tunnels that pass through different subnetworks of the communications network. A central controller can monitor performance of the pathways, including those not in primary use, and dynamically adjust routing of communications traffic between the nodes by directing communication traffic to specific pathways or tunnels. The controller can direct different types of traffic (for example, data, voice) to particular pathways, and can direct traffic to different pathways based on direction of traffic flow (for example, uplink along one pathway and downlink along another pathway).

Holograms of the processed network data are created for visualization at an augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) device. The AR/VR device overlays the holograms on top of the physical space encompassing the network device and/or the network device.
