Assigning routing paths based on interior gateway protocol metric optimization

A system comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• receive a topology (G) of a network domain and a set of flows (F);
• receive an objective function;
• optimize, using reinforcement learning, the objective function based on the received topology and the one or more flows F;
• determine updated IGP metrics based on the optimization of the objective function;
• and
• assign routing paths between nodes on the network based on the updated IGP metrics.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instruction, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive a topology (G) of a network domain and a set of flows (F);
• receive an objective function;
• optimize, using reinforcement learning, the objective function based on the received topology and the one or more flows F
• determine updated IGP metrics based on the optimization of the objective function;
• and
• assign routing paths between nodes on the network based on the updated IGP metrics.
