Abstract
Modifying a priority for at least one flow class of an application 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, modifying, based on an event, the priority for at least one of the flow classes of the application by mapping a priority key associated with the priority to a new priority value, 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.
