Summary:Techniques for path routing for communication sessions are described. In at least some embodiments, a communication session refers to an exchange of communication data between different nodes in a network. According to various embodiments, a routing path for a communication session includes peering points between different networks to enable communication sessions to be routed between devices connected to the different networks. In an event that performance degradation occurs in a communication session over a particular routing path, techniques discussed herein enable the communication session to be rerouted to a different routing path. The different routing path, for example, may be indicated as providing a higher quality data flow than the original routing path. Thus, rerouting the communication session can improve the quality of user experience during the communication session.
