Abstract
Techniques for informing a network of an application's service-level agreement (SLA) objective(s) so the network can ensure the SLA is met end-to-end, thereby allowing core network support of deterministic SLA and application-based routing without using network-based application recognition (NBAR) and/or compromising user privacy. The techniques may include receiving a first connection request to establish a network-domain connection between different network domains that meets or exceeds a service level objective. Based on the first connection request, the network-domain connection may be established between the different network domains to meet or exceed the service-level objective. In some examples, a second connection request may be received to establish a tunnel between a source application and a destination application, which are disposed in the different network domains. Based on the second connection request, the techniques may include establishing the tunnel between the source application and the destination application utilizing the network-domain connection.
