ABSTRACT:
A system for dynamic tagging of network data based on service level objectives comprises one or more processors and memory coupled to the processors. The memory comprises program instructions executable by the processors to identify a service level objective associated with a particular task that comprises a transmission of data packets over a network on behalf of an application, where the network includes one or more devices (such as routers, switches, etc.) configured to provide different levels of service to data packets based at least in part on service level indicators included within the packets. The instructions are executable to dynamically generate service level indicators corresponding to the identified service level objectives for inclusion in the data packets of the task, and to transmit the packets including the service level indicators into the network.
