Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for prioritizing a set of data packets associated with an application running in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). In a typical embodiment, an SLA associated with a particular application and at least one other SLA associated with at least one other application are accessed (e.g., in a database or the like). A proposed modification to a priority of a set of data packets associated with the particular application (e.g., corresponding to a workload being processed via the particular application) is then determined based on a comparison of a current performance (e.g., transmission rate) of the set of data packets versus a specified performance of the set of data packets as set forth in the SLA. Then, an effect of the proposed modification on a capability of the particular application to meet a set of terms of the SLA, and of the at least one other application to meet a set of terms of the at least one other SLA will be evaluated. Based on this evaluation, it will be determined whether to implement the proposed modification. For example, the proposed modification can be implemented if it will not cause any of the SLAs to be unmet.
