1. A method comprising:
establishing a first direct path between a cluster of routers located at a remote location of an enterprise organization and an application infrastructure;
establishing a second direct path between the cluster of routers and the application infrastructure;
designating a first router in the cluster of routers to send probes over the first direct path to the application infrastructure;
designating a second router in the cluster of routers to send probes over the second direct path to the application infrastructure, wherein the second router and the first router are separate routers;
distributing, by the first router and to the cluster of routers, first routing performance data indicating a performance of the first direct path when communicating with the application infrastructure over the first direct path; and
distributing, by the second router and to the cluster of routers, second routing performance data indicating a performance of the second direct path when communicating with the application infrastructure over the second direct path.
