Abstract
Prioritizing at least one flow class for an application on a software defined networking (SDN) controller includes registering flow classes for an application with a SDN controller, determining, with the SDN controller, a priority for each of the flow classes based on other installed applications and network services on the SDN controller, receiving, from the application, at least one flow modification rule using a priority key as the priority, and validating the at least one flow modification rule against registered parameters of at least one of the flow classes of the application to determine a flow of traffic based on the priority.
