Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for on-demand application-driven network slicing. In one embodiment, it is determined that an application implemented in a particular computing device has an increased quality-of-service requirement in order to send or receive data via a communications network. The increased quality-of-service requirement is greater than an existing quality-of-service provided to the application by the communications network. The application sends a request that causes capacity in a network slice having the increased quality-of-service requirement in the communications network to be allocated for the application. The data is transmitted to or from the application using the network slice.
