Claim 3:
4. The method of claim 3, wherein determining the mission element associated with the data flow further comprises:
determining, by the computing device and based on the source network address associated with the data flow, a source mission element associated with the data flow out of the plurality of mission elements specified by the network template;
determining, by the computing device, a source mission element utility associated with the data flow based at least in part on the determined source mission element associated with the data flow;
determining, by the computing device and based on a destination network address associated with the data flow, a destination mission element associated with the data flow out of the plurality of mission elements specified by the network template;, determining, by the computing device, a destination mission element utility associated with the data flow based at least in part on the determined destination mission element associated with the data flow; and
wherein determining the mission element utility associated with the data flow further comprises determining, by the computing device, the mission element utility associated with the data flow as the greater of the source mission element utility associated with the data flow and the destination mission element utility associated with the data flow.
