Adaptable network communications

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor of a first user endpoint device, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• obtaining conditions in a telecommunication service provider network from a server of the telecommunication service provider network via an over-the-top web real-time communication application of the first user endpoint device operating in a background of the first user endpoint device on an ongoing basis, wherein the conditions comprise at least one of:
• latency, bandwidth, throughput, or jitter;
• selecting a first path by which to connect a communication session between the first user endpoint device and a second user endpoint device, wherein the first path is a path through the telecommunication service provider network that is expected to satisfy a predefined level of performance for the communication session based on the conditions, wherein the communication session comprises a web real-time communication session;
• connecting the communication session between the first user endpoint device and the second user endpoint device via the first path;
• detecting a change in the conditions that results in the first path failing to satisfy the predefined level of performance, wherein the detecting of the change in conditions comprises obtaining the change in the conditions from the server of the telecommunication service provider network via the over-the-top web real-time communication application of the first user endpoint device;
• selecting a second path by which to connect the communication session, wherein the second path is a path through the telecommunication service provider network that is expected to satisfy the predefined level of performance for the communication session based on the conditions as changed, wherein the first path is established via a first type of network communication technology, and wherein the second path is established via a second type of network communication technology that is different from the first type of network communication technology;
• and
• initiating a handoff of the communication session from the first path to the second path.
