M.3342 (07/2006) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Stand

9、ardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), wh

10、ich meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within

11、ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendat

12、ion is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “mu

13、st“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation m

14、ay involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of th

However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent dat

M.3342 (07/2006) 1 ITU-T Recommendation M.3342 Guidelines for the definition of SLA representation templates 1 Scope The emerging new service and its QoS management requirements are challenging the NGN service management, demanding extendibility and scalab

22、ility. The most important characteristic of NGN different from the current network is the QoS guarantee for services. SLAs are considered an effective way of solving the problems of QoS guarantee between Service Customers (SCs) and Service Providers (SPs). Guidelines for the Definitions of SLA Repre

23、sentation Templates (GDSRT) are the instructional explanations about service level, quality of service, priorities and duties in the SLA content. Four parts, business part, service part, technology part, and QoS report, are defined in the guidelines and the content of each part is described in detai

24、l. On the basis of the guidelines, the specific SLA representation template instances can be developed according to the specific service features. This Recommendation provides the guidelines and instructions for the definition and composition of SLA representation templates in order to manage QoS an

25、d service guarantee of telecommunication services effectively. It is the scope of this Recommendation to provide an overview of: the definition and characteristics of SLA representation templates, based on the requirements of QoS management for emerging new services; guidelines for the definition of

26、 SLA representation templates, in order to standardize the representation methods of SLAs; proformas of SLA representation templates and instructions for completing the proformas to allow defining any specific templates meeting the requirements for different services; and some SLA Representation Tem

27、plates examples. Although the guidelines for the definition are proposed in the context of NGN QoS requirements, it can be adapted to any telecommunication service and is not just limited to NGN services. It is out of the scope of this Recommendation to provide the definition and concept of each spe

28、cific Key Performance Indicator (KPI) or Key Quality Indicator (KQI); only the abstraction for how to represent QoS Parameters, KPIs and KQIs are addressed in this Recommendation. The definitions of KPIs and KQIs can be imported into SLA Representation Templates from other ITU-T Recommendations or s

29、pecifications from other organizations. By following the templates and the filling instructions provided in this Recommendation, a specific SLA can be created for a specific service. Some more detailed information can be captured from TMF GB917 Volume 2 15 and Volume 3 16, and ITU-T Rec. E.802 3. 2

It is composed of several proformas to contain the SLA contents for a specific service. It provides the structures and the

41、organization method for the SLA content. When the SLA templates for a specific service are filled in with concrete information, they become a practical SLA instance. 3.6.2 guideline for the definition of SLA representation templates (GDSRT): GDSRT are the instructional explanations about how SLA con

42、tent of a specific service can be organized and represented. It provides a directive profile about the canonical definitions and expressions of generic SLA representation templates. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations: BBER Background Block Error Ratio B

48、e SC. Because of different SPs, different services and different definitions of SLA clauses, there is no standardized SLA representation and expression during the service negotiation and QoS guarantee phase. It is necessary to define standardized and generic guidelines of SLA representation template

49、s to solve this problem. 5.2 What are SLA representation templates SLA is a long-term guarantee of SCs satisfaction. Both the SCs and the SPs interests are served by a simplified SLA negotiation and standardized contract process. SLA representation templates are the canonical representation method and format of a SLA for a specific service. It is composed of several proformas that contain the SLA content for a specific service. It provides the structures and the organiz
