'''Path selection''' refers to that portion of a [[routing architecture]] in which paths through a network, from sources to destinations, are selected.

The term '''routing''' is sometimes used for this, but that can be confusing, since that term is also used for the forwarding of [[packet]]s through a [[datagram]] [[packet switch]] (a [[router]]), a wholly different operation; 'path selection' is unambiguous, and facially exactly describes what is referred to, so is preferable.
