Systems and methods to determine network routes based on transmission medium length

摘要

Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture to determine an administrative cost for a network path are disclosed. An example method is used to select a plurality of network segments and a plurality of network switches to determine a network path between first and second network nodes. A transmission medium length associated with the plurality of network segments and the plurality of network switches is then determined, where the administrative cost for the network path is determined based on the transmission medium length.
