Systems and methods for determining network component scores using bandwidth capacity

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a first router, data from a network component;
• determining, by the first router, a first link bandwidth capacity between the first router and a host device;
• determining, by the first router, a first score for the first router based on the first link bandwidth capacity;
• determining, by the first router, a second link bandwidth capacity between a second router and the host device;
• determining, by the first router, a second score for the second router based on the second link bandwidth capacity;
• comparing, by the first router, at least the first score and the second score to determine a highest score;
• and
• assigning, by the first router, an edge router associated with the highest score to communicate the data to the host device.

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving data from a network component;
• determining a first link bandwidth capacity between a first router and a host device;
• determining a first score for the first router based on the first link bandwidth capacity;
• determining a second link bandwidth capacity between a second router and the host device;
• determining a second score for the second router based on the second link bandwidth capacity;
• comparing at least the first score and the second score to determine a highest score;
• and
• assigning an edge router associated with the highest score to communicate the data to the host device.
