Abstract

A method for selecting an IP address for an application used in a network environment may include receiving data of a network's capabilities, receiving data of a subscriber's applications, and receiving data of a subscriber's needs. The method may also include generating a policy document, such that the policy document associates an IP address with each application based on the subscriber's needs and the network's capabilities.
