Abstract
A method and system for propagating network traffic flows between end points based on service and priority policies. Specifically, the method and system disclosed herein entail configuring network elements with network-disseminated traffic management policies. Each traffic management policy guides the handling of a network traffic flow between origination and termination end points (i.e., source and destination hosts), which may be defined through data link layer, network layer, and/or transport layer header information, as well as group assignment information, associated with the source and destination hosts.
