1. A method, comprising:
identifying, by source node equipment comprising a processor, a first route on a network from the source node equipment to destination node equipment via first node equipment and a second route on the network from the source node equipment to the destination node equipment via second node equipment;
receiving, by the source node equipment, from the first and the second node equipment respectively, a first predictive model comprising a first function that is used to predict a first delay predicted for the first route and a second predictive model comprising a second function that is used to predict a second delay predicted for the second route; and
based on the first function of the first predictive model and the second function of the second predictive model, selecting, by the source node equipment, a route from a group of routes, comprising the first route and the second route, for communication of information to the destination node equipment from the source node equipment, resulting in a selected route.
