RE: Network SLA

We use the BRIX active measurement instrumentation product to measure round-trip, jitter, and packet loss SLA conformity. -----Original Message----- From: Saqib Ilyas [mailto:msaqib@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 7:50 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Network SLA Greetings I am curious to know about any tools/techniques that a service provider uses to assess an SLA before signing it. That is to say, how does an administrator know if he/she can meet what he is promising. Is it based on experience? Are there commonly used tools for this?
