A network resource management (NRM) system is described for allocating portions of available network capacity to applications, where the available network capacity is treated as a pool of virtual network resources. The NRM system operates by receiving a service level agreement (SLA) that specifies network resources that are requested by an application. The NRM system also receives network topology information regarding features of a physical communication network, which define, in turn, the available network capacity. Based on these inputs, the NRM system allocates a portion of the available network capacity to the application, to produce an SLA assignment. The NRM system then monitors events that may affect the SLA assignment. If such an event is detected, the NRM system can modify the SLA assignment, e.g., by changing or releasing the network resources assigned to the application, etc.
