Systems and methods for utilizing network hints to configure the operation of modern workspaces

A memory storage device having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by an Information Handling System (IHS), cause the IHS to:

• receive, by a network performance service, a network configuration policy;
• determine, by the network performance service, one or more characteristics of network traffic generated by a selected workspace of a plurality of workspaces instantiated via a local management agent, wherein the one or more characteristics of the network traffic comprise:
• a priority, a number of applications executed in the selected workspace, and a duration that each of the applications runs at a given priority;
• receive from a kernel mode driver, by the network performance service, one or more traffic hints;
• and
• execute a responsive action prescribed in the network configuration policy based, at least in part, upon:
• (i) the one or more characteristics of network traffic, and (ii) the one or more traffic hints.
