Abstract
A network fabric includes a mobile device associated with a service type and a server including a processor and memory storing program code for assigning identifiers to mobile devices in accordance with an identifier assignment policy. The processor, in response to executing the program code stored in the memory, associates a service type with the mobile device, maps the service type to an identifier predetermined to cause frames bearing the identifier to receive a particular frame-forwarding treatment within the network fabric, assigns the identifier to the mobile device based on the service type of the mobile device, and sends the identifier to the mobile device for inclusion in frames transmitted by the mobile device.
