Systems and methods are provided for clustering network devices into cohorts. Next, the systems may determine a subset of the network devices between which tunnels are created, based on any of amounts of available memory, jitter, latency, packet loss, and average round trip time. The selective determination may include, determining to create a first tunnel between a first network device of the first cohort and a second network device within the first cohort, and a second tunnel between the first network device and a third network device within the second cohort, and determining not to create tunnels between first remaining network devices of the first cohort and the second set of network devices of the second cohort. The systems provision the tunnel and the second tunnel to transmit data.
