OpenDaylight applications can have various priority levels; the proposal is to have an Application Scheduler for the OpenDaylight Controller which will schedule the applications based on the importance/priority levels of the applications.On a High level, the design for such scheduler will be based on the priority of the flows of interest to the application.A parameter called application-id will be attached to the various flows/groups of the particular Application, this Application ID will be configurable by the operator. The FRM will have an Application Scheduler which will store the rules of various applications based on this Application ID. Higher Application ID implies higher priority. The scheduler will schedule the flows/groups with higher applicationID first.The Idea of having an Application Scheduler here is to make the higher priority Application work with utmost importance.
