A method for a communication network , wherein the communication network includes an access node communicating with end user devices , a backhaul node , and a core node , wherein the backhaul node transmits traffic between the access node and the core node, and wherein an electronic device comprises the access node or the core node, the method comprising: notifying , by the electronic device, a controller that an application has been authorized to transmit tactile traffic in the communication network, the controller communicating with one or more of the access node, the backhaul node, and the core node, and the application being deployed in an end user device, wherein the controller, responsive to the notifying, causes the backhaul node to install a flow table entry in a flow table of the backhaul node, through which packets of the application are to be forwarded by the backhaul node within a latency defined for the tactile traffic, wherein the flow table entry includes one or more quality of service bits in its one or more matching fields to match at least one indication in the packets of the tactile traffic received from the electronic device, wherein the one or more matching fields include only the subscriber ID or the session ID, and wherein the matching of one is sufficient to identify the tactile traffic and wherein the latency of the application in the communication network is within one millisecond; authenticating , by the electronic device, a packet being sourced from or destined to the application that has been authorized to transmit the tactile traffic in the communication network; and forwarding , by the electronic device to the backhaul node, the packet with the latency defined for the tactile traffic using a priority for the tactile traffic. notifying , by the electronic device, a controller that an application has been authorized to transmit tactile traffic in the communication network, the controller communicating with one or more of the access node, the backhaul node, and the core node, and the application being deployed in an end user device, wherein the controller, responsive to the notifying, causes the backhaul node to install a flow table entry in a flow table of the backhaul node, through which packets of the application are to be forwarded by the backhaul node within a latency defined for the tactile traffic, wherein the flow table entry includes one or more quality of service bits in its one or more matching fields to match at least one indication in the packets of the tactile traffic received from the electronic device, wherein the one or more matching fields include only the subscriber ID or the session ID, and wherein the matching of one is sufficient to identify the tactile traffic and wherein the latency of the application in the communication network is within one millisecond; authenticating , by the electronic device, a packet being sourced from or destined to the application that has been authorized to transmit the tactile traffic in the communication network; and forwarding , by the electronic device to the backhaul node, the packet with the latency defined for the tactile traffic using a priority for the tactile traffic. <EOS>
