Abstract: A switch in a slice-based network can be used to enforce quality of service (“QoS”). Agents can run in the switches, such as in the core of each switch. The switches can sort ingress packets into slice-specific ingress queues in a slice-based pool. The slices can have different QoS prioritizations. A switch-wide policing algorithm can move the slice-specific packets to egress interfaces. Then, one or more user-defined egress policing algorithms can prioritize which packets are sent out into the network first based on slice classifications.
