1. A method for allocating resources based on geographic movement of a client, the method comprising:

  • determining a first geographic location of the client;

    receiving identification data for identifying the client from at least one application programming interfaces (API) operating in a network device in a software-defined networking (SDN) enabled network, wherein the API identifies the identification data by filtering a network flow traversing an ingress port of the network device;

    associating the network flow to a client ID using the identification data;

    determining, based on the network flow, a second geographic location of the client, wherein the first and second geographic locations are different; and

    allocating computing resources associated with the client ID in response to the client moving from the first geographic location to the second geographic location.
