Abstract
The techniques describe network slicing in computer networks. For example, a node receives a slice policy definition. The slice policy definition comprising a slice selector to identify packets belonging to one or more network slices, referred to as a 'slice aggregate,' and one or more network resource requirements for the slice aggregate to meet one or more Service Level Objectives (SLOs). The node configures, based on the slice policy definition, a path for the slice aggregate that complies with the one or more network resource requirements. In response to receiving a packet, the node determines whether the packet is associated with the slice aggregate and, in response to determining that the packet is associated with the slice aggregate, forwards the packet along the path for the slice aggregate.
