1. An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to:
receive a plurality of packets originated by a single application, wherein the single application includes a plurality of application types;
classify each of the plurality of packets into one of a plurality of network slices based upon application type of the application and network parameters of the application, wherein each packet classification comprises at least one of: video, voice, background, or best effort, and wherein each of the network slices is associated with a weight; and
for each given packet among the plurality of packets, add a weight to a header portion of the given packet, wherein the weight corresponds to the given packet's classification.
