The present invention is a system, method and computer program product operable to select a pathway for a communication signal within a network between two end points. The pathway may be selected based on one or more parameters that may be monitored or measured at either, or both, of the two end points. Should one or more of the parameters indicate an imminent network connection failure, the communication signal may be transferred from a primary communication connection to a second communication connection. The present invention may distinguish false from true positive detections and may undertake a transfer of a communication signal within a short response time, so as to support real-time applications. The present invention may manage the pathway to support communication between the two end points at any given time. Such communications may occur in two directions, therefore the management of the pathway can happen in two directions.
