Out-of-band manual learning of SLA details and provisioning them in
general can be complex work for network administrators. For example,
Enterprise network administrators not only have to know what is their
SLA, for voice, video etc application traffic, with their Provider,
but they also require translating application groups to Classifier
groups as per provider's definition as well translate SLA to vendor
specific provisioning language. An in-band method of QoS signaling
can help to simplify some of the complexities. An optional
transitive BGP attribute proposed in this document intends to signal
SLA details in-band, across administrative boundaries (considered as
Autonomous Systems (AS)), and thus simplify/speed-up some of the
complex 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.
