1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause performance of operations comprising:
receiving, by an intermediate node between a source node and a destination node, a first data packet;
analyzing the first data packet to determine a Quality Of Service (QoS) requirement for transmission of the first data packet;
analyzing packet history data in a packet header of the first data packet, the packet history data describing one or more transmission properties experienced by the first data packet in transmission from the source node to the intermediate node;
based on at least the data packet history and the QoS requirement for transmission of the first data packet:
selecting, by the intermediate node, one or more transmission characteristics for forwarding the first data packet toward the destination node,
wherein selecting the one or more transmission characteristics comprises
modifying a level of redundancy for transmitting the first data packet from the intermediate node toward the destination node; and
transmitting, by the intermediate node toward the destination node, the first data packet in accordance with the one or more transmission characteristics.
