Dynamic slice bandwidth multiplexing based on slice priority

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executed by a processor to perform stages for slice-based quality of service (“QoS”), the stages comprising:

• creating a network connection between first and second slice multiplexers at different clouds;
• determining that a first slice is utilizing less bandwidth across the network connection than allotted by a service level agreement (“SLA”);
• based on the determination, reconfiguring a first slice multiplexer to increase an allowed bandwidth of a second slice and decrease an allowed bandwidth of the first slice, wherein the increase and decrease is based on relative slice priority levels of the first and second slices;
• comparing a current bandwidth of the network connection to a total allowed bandwidth, wherein the current bandwidth accounts for the first and second slices;
• and
• based on the comparison, changing the total allowed bandwidth of the network connection by setting limits at the first and second slice multiplexers, wherein the slice priority levels of the first and second slices is factored into determining the changed total allowed bandwidth.
