Latency and packet loss is such requirement that must be achieved
according to the Service Level Agreement (SLA) / Network Performance
Objective (NPO) between customers and service providers. Latency and
packet loss can be associated with different service level. The user
may select a private line provider based on the ability to meet a
latency and loss SLA.
The key driver for latency and loss is stock/commodity trading
applications that use data base mirroring. A few milli seconds and
packet loss can impact a transaction. Financial or trading companies
are very focused on end-to-end private pipe line latency
optimizations that improve things 2-3 ms. Latency/loss and
associated SLA is one of the key parameters that these "high value"
customers use to select a private pipe line provider. Other key
applications like video gaming, conferencing and storage area
networks require stringent latency, loss and bandwidth.
This document describes requirements and control plane implication
for latency and packet loss as a traffic engineering performance
metric in today's network which is consisting of potentially multiple
layers of packet transport network and optical transport network in
order to meet the latency/loss SLA between service provider and his
customers.
