Using signal quality parameters to adjust data propagation metrics

Embodiments described herein relate to techniques for dynamically adjusting information propagation metrics for information propagation paths of network devices based on signal quality. Such techniques may include: obtaining a signal quality parameter for an interface of a network device; making a first determination, using the signal quality parameter, that a signal quality for an information propagation path using the interface is below a signal quality threshold; making a decision, by a signal quality analyzer and based on the first determination, to adjust an information propagation metric by an information propagation metric quantity; providing, by the signal quality analyzer, the information propagation metric quantity to an information propagation decision making device; and programming, by the information propagation decision making device, a new information propagation path that does not include the interface into a hardware component of the network device based on receiving the information propagation metric quantity.
