Patent attributes
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for determining linked network path using service-oriented protocol. Method implemented at first network device associated with first autonomous system (AS) includes accessing OP routing table and service information relating to organization associated with first AS, service information indicating service type associated with organization. Method includes sending service messages to establish communication session with second network device, communication session indicating probable network paths. The method includes calculating connection metric value for each of probable network paths based on connection parameters, and identifying linked network path from probable network paths based on connection metric values. The method includes routing organization data packets to the second network device via the linked network path.
