7. A method, comprising:
storing logical transmission links, logical receiving links, and metrics for data packets of nodes;
determining a threshold value for node link reliability;
determining the node link reliability of a receiving node link by evaluating data loss associated with one or more incoming data packets;
comparing the node link reliability to the threshold value;
determining one or more metrics for incoming ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) data packets;
communicating the one or more determined metrics;
identifying the receiving node link when the node link reliability exceeds the threshold value; and
communicating the identified receiving node link to a plurality of nodes.
