With the rapid development of cloud computing and big data technologies, there are more and more applications in data centers. In order to ensure the users' experience and the service providers' revenue, how to guarantee application-bandwidth efficiently is attracting a cloud of research attention. Based on the advantages of SDN which separates controlling from forwarding, this paper investigated the application-towards bandwidth guaranteed method. Firstly, this method performed coarse granularity classification of the various applications, then carried out the ATBG (Application-towards Bandwidth Guarantee) algorithm, and realized the application-bandwidth guarantee efficiently in multiple priority levels for various applications through a centralized control. This paper evaluated this method in the floodlight & mininet simulation environment.
