Assurance Agent
Service Assurance Agent (SAA) enables customers to assure business-critical applications, as well as
services that utilize data, voice, and video. With SAAs, users can verify service guarantees, increase
network reliability by validating network performance and proactively identify network issues. SAA uses

measurement of network performance and health.
