Original Abstract Submitted

techniques for determining an optimal connection path by a nhnaas are described. the techniques may include receiving a registration from an ips that includes service isp service parameters, and storing the registration in a naas database. a request to connect to a remote service from a user device, including user parameters required is received. isps having respective service parameters compatible with the user parameters are identified in the naas database. multiple paths offered by the service providers between the user device and the remote service are determined. network performance data for each path is received from a network monitoring service. using the network performance data, an optimal path for establishing the connection is identified. a request to instantiate a tunnel between the user device and remote service is transmitted to the service providers along the optimal path and the tunnel information is transmitted to the user device.
