Service Level Specifications Introduction SLS - what is it all about? SLS describes the traffic characteristics of IP services & the QoS guarantees offered by the (DiffServ) network SLS contains technical parameters and is part of the SLA Motivation for an SLS standardised formalism Automated & Dynamic management & negotiation of SLSs Automation of SLS Management (ISPs) between customer-isp and ISP-ISP Open interfaces in the multi-vendor / provider Internet environment Yves T Joens, Washington 25-26 october n 12»
SLS template (2) Scope: The geographical region over which the QoS is to be enforced pipe, hose & funnel models Flow Id: stream of IP packets sharing at least one common characteristic provides info for packet classification (BA or MF classification) Traffic Conformance Testing The set of actions allowing to identify in- & out-of-profile packets of the IP stream identified by Flow Id Yves T Joens, Washington 25-26 october n 13»
SLS template (3) Excess Treatment: dropping, shaping, (re)-marking of excess packets Performance Guarantees These are the service guarantees that the network offers to the customer (SLS) for the packet stream identified by Flow Id, over the geographical region defined by Scope Four (measurable) parameters delay optional quantile jitter optional quantile packet loss throughput Yves T Joens, Washington 25-26 october n 14»
Conclusions Standardisation of SLS template is a necessity (basic parameters, leave room for differentiation ) Today a joint effort between EC funded projects (known as the NGN forum) is looking into this IETF I-D : draft-tequila-diffserv-sls-00.txt (July 2000) Seeking support for starting this activity at the level of the IETF (maybe BoF session at the IETF San Diego meeting) Further information : contact yves.tjoens@alcatel.be Yves T Joens, Washington 25-26 october n 15»
