CHAPTER 3
Implementing IP Service Level Agreements
IP Service Level Agreements (IP SLAs) is a portfolio of technology embedded in most devices that run
Cisco IOS XR Software, which allows you to analyze IP service levels for IP applications and services,
increase productivity, lower operational costs, and reduce the frequency of network outages.
Using IP SLA, service provider customers can measure and provide service level agreements. IP SLA can
perform network assessments, verify quality of service (QoS), ease the deployment of new services, and
assist administrators with network troubleshooting.
For a complete description of the IP SLA commands used in this chapter, refer to the IP Service Level
Agreement Commands on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router module of Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation
Services Router System Management Command Reference.
