1. A method comprising:
identifying a plurality of unique traffic paths each comprising a plurality of carrier networks selected from the plurality of carrier networks; and selecting one of the plurality of unique traffic paths based on a cost function associated with the one of the plurality of unique traffic paths, and routing traffic via the selected one of the plurality of unique traffic paths; wherein the cost function is:Cp⁡(i)=∑j∈R⁢Cp,j⁡(i)=[KM-Ei-li-H]*∑j∈R⁢(α*ρi,j+β*σi,j) wherein j represents router j, R is all routers set in transport link, ρi,j is the average packet processing cost of a transmission frame at router j using scheme i, while σi,j is the average cost for table look-up for frame at router j using algorithm i, and α and β are weights for packet processing and table look-up; andwherein α and β are pre-set values and satisfy α+β=1.
