Recently, the increasing demand to transfer data through the Internet has pushed the Internet infrastructure to the nal edge of the ability of these networks. This high demand causes a deciency of rapid response to emergencies and disasters to control or reduce the devastating effects of these disasters. As one of the main cornerstones to address the data trafc forwarding issue, the Internet networks need to impose the highest priority on the special networks: Security, Health, and Emergency (SHE) data trafc. These networks work in closed and private domains to serve a group of users for specic tasks. Our novel proposed network ow priority management based on ML and SDN fullls high control to give the required ow priority to SHE data trafc. The proposal relies on selected header bits from the trafc class eld of a packet using the ML to prioritize trafc ows according to the precedence levels by governing the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) bits in keeping with network administrator policies. The proposed network has been evaluated and performed utilizing theMATLAB platform and the Mininet simulator. The results of extensive testing show enhancement by applying our forcing priority algorithm obtained an efcient reduction in queuing delay and lost packets. The average waiting time in queue was reduced by around 61%, and the lost packets hit 0.005% when adopting the SDN-based ML network trafc priority management.
