Dynamic Metric Routing Path Selection

The patent transforms static routing metrics into dynamic metrics by continuously acquiring real-time network performance data (bandwidth, delay, packet loss) from multiple sources including network nodes and external measurement systems. This dynamic metric acquisition enables the routing path selection to adapt to changing network conditions, resolving the contradiction between selection accuracy and system complexity.

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where routing metrics are continuously measured, evaluated, and used to update routing decisions. The system collects performance data from the network, processes it through evaluation modules, and feeds back updated metric values to the routing path selection algorithm, creating a closed-loop system that improves accuracy while managing complexity through systematic feedback processing.

The patent applies partial action by selectively acquiring and processing only the most critical routing metrics (bandwidth, delay, packet loss) rather than all possible network parameters. The system implements a tiered approach where essential metrics are continuously monitored while less critical metrics are updated less frequently or only when thresholds are exceeded, reducing computational overhead while maintaining reliable routing decisions.

The patent dynamically adjusts metric acquisition parameters such as sampling intervals, measurement granularity, and data collection frequency based on network conditions and service requirements. During normal conditions, the system uses lower-resolution measurements to conserve resources, while during critical events or high-priority routing scenarios, it increases measurement precision and frequency, optimizing the balance between reliability and resource consumption.
