18. A routing device, comprising:
a memory configured to store information identifying a plurality of network slices associated with transmitting data in a network; and
processing logic configured to:
determine that a failure associated with a path used to transmit data has occurred, wherein the failure corresponds to a failure of a link in the path or a failure of a router in the path,
determine whether the failure is associated with one of the plurality of network slices, and
prioritize a route selection process to identify an alternate path in response to determining that the failure is associated with one of the plurality of network slices.
