Abstract:
Network administrators typically provision QoS (Quality of Service)
policies for their application traffic (such as voice, video) based
on SLAs (Service Level Agreements) negotiated with their providers,
and translate those SLAs to vendor specific configuration language.
Both learning of SLA, either thru SLA documents or via some other
out-of-band method, and translating them to vendor specific
configuration language is a complex, many times manual, process and
prone to errors. This document proposes an in-band method of SLA
signaling which can help to simplify some of the complexities.
This document defines an operational transitive attribute to signal
SLA details in-band, across administrative boundaries (considered as
Autonomous Systems (AS)), thus simplify and speed-up some of the
complex provisioning tasks.
Though the use case with the proposed attribute is explicitly defined
in this document, purpose of this attribute is not limited to this
use case only.
