Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for selective data routing in a distributed network via data throughput analysis in a distributed ledger network. The present invention is configured to receive a request for a data transmission from an endpoint device of a network, determine, via a routing module, a throughput of data associated with the data transmission, determine a classification of the data transmission, and assign the data transmission to an assigned routing channel. The assigned routing channel may include either a first routing channel or a second routing channel based on the classification, wherein the first routing channel is a light load network comprising emitter devices operatively coupled to endpoint devices proximate the emitter devices, and wherein the second routing channel is a heavy load network comprising a first multicore optical fiber.
