ASON SLA levels

Hi,

Traditional WDM networks are generally chains and rings. The trails and timeslots of their services are manually configured ring by ring and point by point, which consumes a lot of time and effort. As networks become increasingly large and complicated, this service configuration mode cannot meet the rapidly increasing user demands.

The ASON successfully solves this problem by end-to-end service configuration. To configure a service, you only need to specify its source node, sink node and protection type; the network automatically performs the required operations.

This post will introduce the different types of Service Level Agreement (SLA) for QoS. The service level agreement (SLA) is used to classify services according to service protection.

Dear friend!

The ASON network can provide services of different QoS to different clients.

The service level agreement (SLA) is used to classify services according to the service protection, as listed in the following picture, there are five levels: Diamond Services, Gold Services，Silver Services，Copper Services，Iron Services.

The rerouting time depends on the equipment type, the number of interrupted services, the network resources, the network settings, and other factors. Hence, the following data is for reference only.

Silver services, the revertive time is hundreds of milliseconds to several seconds. The silver level service is suitable for those data or internet services that have low real-time requirement. It has high bandwidth utilization and moderate cost.

Thnak you!
