SLA Management in Enterprise Network

چکیده
The transmission of multimedia streams with a particular and guaranteed level of QoS (Quality of Service) from source to destination is a major challenge in multimedia communications over IP networks. In this paper, we introduce a generalized, flexible form of the traditional SLA (Service Level Agreement) between users and network owners, for the transmission of a multimedia stream with several choices of QoS level. Admission control and adaptation of the SLAs to optimize a certain system performance criterion (e.g., maximum profit) while maintaining all QoS guarantees is defined as the SLA admission control problem. We present the design and implementation of an optimal SLA admission control system.

متن کاملPolicy Based SLA Management in Enterprise Networks
The Differentiated Services Architecture defines the mechanisms that are needed to offer multiple classes of services in an IP network. While this model offers significant scaling advantages over the signaling-oriented approach of Integrated Services, the management of a differentiated services network remains a complex problem. Since the operation of a differentiated network involves numerous ...
متن کاملQuality of Service Enabled Database Applications
In today’s enterprise service oriented software architectures, database systems are a crucial component for the quality of service (QoS) management between customers and service providers. The database workload consists of requests stemming from many different service classes, each of which has a dedicated service level agreement (SLA). We present an adaptive QoS management that is based on an ...
