Methods, systems and computer program products which identify network routing paths having a first performance characteristic less than a first specified limit and a second performance characteristic less than a second specified limit from a plurality of routing paths. These routing paths are identified by combining both the first performance characteristic and the second performance characteristic for one of the plurality of routing paths to provide a third performance characteristic which differs from both the first and the second performance characteristic and which operates as a proxy for the first and second performance characteristic. It is then determined if the third performance characteristic of the routing path is less than a third performance limit associated with the third performance characteristic.

[ That which is claimed is:] [1.] A method for identifying from a plurality of network routing paths a network routing path having a value for a first delay characteristic which is less than a first specified limit and a value for a second delay characteristic which is less than a second specified limit, the method comprising the steps of:determining a value for a third delay characteristic associated with one of the plurality of routing paths; anddetermining if the determined value for the third delay characteristic associated with the one of the plurality of routing paths is less than a third specified limit associated with the third delay characteristic, wherein the third delay characteristic differs from both the first and the second delay characteristics and operates as a proxy for the first and second delay characteristics.
