Abstract
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing machine-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to execute a software application, implement a traffic stack capable of coupling to a communication network, and implement one or more software agents configured to register an association between the software application and a traffic flow, and at least assist in implementing a service policy based on the registered association between the software application and the traffic flow, wherein the one or more software agents include a proxy agent configured to at least assist in communicating the traffic flow over the communication network on behalf of the software application.
