SLA Service Level Agreement(SLA): A service contract between a customer and a service provider that specifies the forwarding service a customer should receive. A SLA may also specify traffic profiles and actions to traffic streams which are in- or out-of-profile. Static SLA: norm at the present time. first instantiated at the agreed upon service start date and may periodically be renegotiated. SLA (cont.) Dynamic SLA: may change as the traffic load fluctuates. dynamic SLAs change without human intervention and thus require an automated agent and protocol. Challenging problems for Dynamic SLA : Network providers have to balance frequently changing loads on different routers within the provider network. Customer equipments will have to adapt to dynamic SLAs. End user applications have to adapt their behavior during a session. TCA Traffic Conditioning Agreement(TCA) specifies detailed service parameters for each service level: Traffic profiles. Metering rules. Marking rules. Discarding rules. Shaping rules. Traffic Profiles A traffic profile specifies the temporal properties of a traffic stream selected by a classifier. In-profile packets may be allowed to enter the DS domain without further conditioning. Out-of-profile packets may be queued until they are in-profile(shaped), discarded(policed), marked with a new codepoint(remarked), or forwarded unchanged while triggering some accounting procedure. Bandwidth Broker act the policy and call admission control manager in each DS domain. keep track of current allocation of marked traffic. interpret new requests to mark traffic according to policies and current allocation. parcel out marked traffic allocations and set up edge routers.
