Abstract
Discussed herein is a framework that provisions for customized processing for different classes of traffic. A network device in a communication path between a source host machine and a destination host machine extracts a tag from a packet received by the network device. The packet originates at a source executing on the source host machine and whose destination is the destination host machine. The tag set by the source and indicative of a first traffic class to be associated with the packet, the first traffic class being selected by the source from a plurality of traffic classes. The network device determines, based on the tag, that the first traffic class corresponds to a latency sensitive traffic and processes the packet using one or more settings configured at the network device for processing packets associated with the first traffic class.
