Abstract
Techniques for network packet flow management are described herein. For example, example methods may include receiving, at a first network device, a first flow identifier that identifies a first content of a first packet flow and a second flow identifier that identifies a second content of a second packet flow, wherein the first flow identifier and the second flow identifier are generated by a second network device. Such methods may also include receiving priority information indicating that the first content has a first priority and that the second content has a second priority that is lower than the first priority. Moreover, example methods may include transmitting the first packet flow and a modified second packet flow that includes the priority information to one or more other network devices.
