Claims9
A method for determining the best, or preferred, network path from a network apparatus to a remote network by performing various probes through those paths to remote nodes and then comparing the results of those probes to predefined, administratively set, thresholds. If the threshold is not met, the first available network path will be used. If the threshold is met, that network path with no longer be available, and the next most preferred path is used.
