Abstract
A method includes converting, by a computer, a set of context-aware data forwarding policies to a set of network configuration forwarding rules for one or more data forwarding devices in a network having a dynamic context, and conveying, to the data forwarding devices, the set of network configuration forwarding rules. Upon detecting a change in the dynamic context of the network, the set of network configuration forwarding rules ae updated based on the set of context-aware data forwarding policies and the change in the dynamic context, and the updated set of network configuration forwarding rules are conveyed to the data forwarding devices.
