Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the flow type associated with the data flow further comprises:
determining, by the computing device and based on the source port associated with the data flow, a source flow type associated with the data flow out of the plurality of flow types specified by the network template;
determining, by the computing device, a source flow type mission utility associated with the data flow based at least in part on the determined source flow type associated with the data flow;
determining, by the computing device and based on the destination port associated with the data flow, a destination flow type associated with the data flow out of the plurality of flow types specified by the network template; and
determining, by the computing device, a destination flow type mission utility associated with the data flow based at least in part on the determined destination flow type associated with the data flow; and
wherein determining the flow type mission utility associated with the data flow further comprises determining, by the computing device, the flow type mission utility associated with the data flow as the greater of the source flow type mission utility associated with the data flow and the destination flow type mission utility associated with the data flow.
