    Abstract: Embodiments are provided to perform affinity analysis and management of network services. The embodiments use model-driven engineering to capture more generic affinity-based relationships, including between applications and endpoints and between customers and the network infrastructure. In an embodiment method, upon receiving at a network component a request for an application, affinity analysis is performed on the application. A network configuration is then determined according to results of the affinity analysis. The affinity analysis is performed and the network configuration is determined according to business rules defining application and customer priorities. The business rules are defined using a single information model and implemented using at least one data model. The network infrastructure is then configured according to the affinity analysis and the network configuration.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a server for determining a service level in a network for a user. The network comprises information on the at least one user and at least one application associated with the at least one user. In the method at least one application is classified into a group among multiple groups according to an importance set for each of the at least one application, utilization of network resources by each of the application is determined by monitoring a characteristic within the network, at least one network parameter is determined for each of the groups based on the utilization of the network resources, a group in which exists at least one most important application associated with the user is determined, and the service level is provided for the user, which corresponds to the determined group.
