ABSTRACT:
A method for selecting a communication path over which to send a communication load between a first station and a second station in a communication network, in which the communication network has a plurality of possible communication paths between the first and second stations. The method comprises identifying at least one of the possible communication paths between the first and second stations, determining a first path metric for each identified path, the first path metric having a value that may vary as distribution of the load across the network varies and selecting one of the at least one identified paths based on the value of the first path metric for each identified path.
