1. A method, comprising:
mapping, by an agent executed by a device, a packet flow of the device with a session of an application executed by the device based on execution information about the application that is captured by an operating system of the device, wherein the execution information is indicative of computing resources used by the application;
determining, by the agent and based in part on mapping the packet flow of the device with the session of the application, one or more adjustments for a packet of the packet flow according to an application profile;
forming, by the agent, an adjusted packet by applying the one or more adjustments to a packet of the packet flow, wherein the one or more adjustments indicate to a networking device how packets of the packet flow should be processed; and
sending, by the agent, the adjusted packet as part of the packet flow to an external destination via a network.
