1. A heterogeneous multi-vendor network, comprising:
a plurality of nodes configured to enable wireless communication between at least two network endpoints, each of the plurality of nodes being configured to operate according to one of a plurality of wireless communication schemes; and
a network slicing engine executed on at least one of the plurality of nodes, the network slicing engine being configured to:
receive at least one request from at least one network endpoint for access to the heterogeneous multi-vendor network for data transmission;
receive information on state of operation of a plurality of communication links between the plurality of nodes;
determine a set of data transmission routes for the request;
assign a network slice for serving the request;
determine, from the set of data transmission routes, an end-to-end route for the network slice; and
send network traffic associated with the request using the network slice and over the end-to-end route.
