Abstract
A system can reduce congestion in slice-based networks, such as a virtual service network ('VSN'). The system can include a monitoring module that communicates with agents on switches, such as routers or servers. The switches report telematics data to the monitoring module, which determines slice-specific performance attributes such as slice latency and slice throughput. These slice-specific performance attributes are compared against software license agreement ('SLA') requirements. When the SLA is not met, the monitoring module can implement a new slice path for the slice to reduce the congestion.
