Systems and methods for managing multi-path network traffic

A computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more hardware storage devices that store instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the computer system to:
• establish a first network path for routing network traffic between a network system and a destination system, the first network path comprising a terrestrial network;
• prior to the first network path failing, establish a second network path for routing the network traffic between the network system and the destination system, the second network path comprising a satellite network having at least some network components that do not overlap with the terrestrial network;
• and
• manage a first flow of network traffic over at least one of the first network path and the second network path while managing a second flow of network traffic over only the first network path, but not the second network path, and even while the first network path remains operable.
