Abstract:
Network administrators typically provision QoS policies for their
application traffic (such as voice, video etc) based on SLAs with
their providers and translating those SLAs to vendor specific
provisioning language. Both learning of SLA, either thru SLA
documents or via some other out of band method, and translating them
to vendor specific provisioning language is a complex, many times
manual, process and prone to errors. This draft proposes an in-band
method of SLA signaling which 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.
