Today in any WAN deployment, customers are required to configure path metrics in load balance policy to program a set of best paths in dataplane. Path metrics are multi-dimensional, it include loss, latency, jitter, and load of path. It is not very intuitive to come up with exact values for these metrics as they are highly dependent on the type of application and geographical locations of routers. Also these path metrics keep changing and except for a few apps that require strict max characteristics on latency, jitter or loss, the other apps are able to tolerate variances in metrics.
