Have a look at Oblicore, they are focused a bit more on the ASP market at the moment, but they might be worth looking at for your application. You might also wish to look at Orchestream - http://www.orchestream.com/, it's more of a provisioning tool but the management/reporting capabilities are pretty sophisticated. Irwin

Hi All,

As we know SLA is frequently referred by some major NSPs, I wonder if there is any vendor specific, or third party software package that can help an NSP to monitor its backbone network and to see if its network conform their SLA agreement with customers?

If there is any well-known SLA monitoring software ? How about IPM (Internet Performance Monitor) by Cisco? Anyone has any comment on using IPM ?

thanks any input!

best
