1. A system comprising one or more devices configured to:
receive a context associated with a flow of packets between a User Equipment device (UE) and a network slice in a wireless network;
obtain one or more policy rules;
apply the policy rules to the context and a model of a transport device to generate or update a map that assigns one or more contexts to queues within the transport device; and
send the map to the transport device,
wherein the transport device is configured to:
adjust parameters of the queues based on the map;
shape traffic from each of the queues;
schedule packets from the queues; and
forward the scheduled packets,
wherein the one or more policy rules comprise a rule for deriving a priority associated with the flow by obtaining a product of a network slice priority and a Fifth Generation Quality of Service Index (5QI) priority.
