Determination of a fast route from a source node to many destination nodes. Identities of each node, and bandwidths and latencies of paths are received. A threshold bandwidth is set, and routes containing paths among nodes which have an associated bandwidth exceeding the threshold bandwidth (or within a desired range, in general) are determined. The route providing the least latency among the routes thus determined is selected. The process is repeated for other values of threshold bandwidths, and the fastest route is then determined from the routes selected for each value of threshold bandwidth considered.
