Abstract
Techniques are described herein for assigning a tag to untagged network traffic in order to allocate the network traffic to an appropriate network slice. In embodiments, the techniques may involve receiving network traffic that is untagged, determining information about the network traffic, identifying, based on the information about the network traffic, a set of attribute values associated with the network traffic, and assigning, based on the set of attribute values and based on configuration data, a tag to the network traffic. In embodiments, the network traffic is then allocated to a network slice associated with the assigned tag. In some embodiments, the techniques may further involve providing an indication of the tag and information about network traffic to at least one second computing device, and receiving, at the access point device from the at least one second computing device, updated configuration data.
