    Este artículo presenta la descripción del concepto básico de un SLA desde varias perspectivas y enfocado hacia servicios específicos. Del mismo modo se hará énfasis en otros conceptos igualmente importantes, como son la calidad de servicio (QoS) que hace referencia al rendimiento de la red de datos para un servicio especificado y la calidad de experiencia (QoE) que es la calidad percibida por el usuario final.This article presents an overview of the basic concept of an SLA seen from several perspectives and be focused on specific services. Moreover it will also focus on other important concepts, like quality of service (QoS) that refers to performance data network for a specified service and quality of experience (QoE) which is the quality perceived by end users

    [[abstract]]In this paper, we propose a new SLA model for best effort IP traffic over WDM networks. This model jointly considers two QoS metrics, workable traffic volume and availability, as SLA parameters. We devise an algorithm of integer programming to minimize operation cost for the incremental traffic

    A New Service Level Agreement Model for Best-Effort Traffics in IP over WDM Networks

    [[abstract]]以網路服務的觀點而言,分波多工網路如何提供上層網路適當的服務品質是一個相當重要的議題。常見的參數如延遲(Delay)、可用度(Availability)、阻斷率(Blocking Probability)等,都曾被文獻當作服務品質合約(Service Level Agreement)中評估網路服務品質的參數。然而這些合約相當缺乏彈性,可能無法滿足用戶多變的服務需求。在本計劃中,我們在光化網際網路上提出一個新的服務品質合約的模型,這個模型考慮實際使用頻寬與可用度作為網路服務的品質參數,這個服務模型將相當具有彈性,應可幫助電信公司獲得新用戶、保留既有客戶與增加利潤。首先,我們將對於此模型做正式的數學模型定義,並設計整數規劃來求得網路維運成本的最小化。其次,我們也將設計啟發式演算法來滿足本問題的擴充性。在考慮光化網際網路設計是否合適此服務模型,我們也考慮以阻斷率作為最佳化模型的目標值,相關的整數規劃與啟發式演算法都將被設計出來;最後我們將實際製作模擬程式並用此程式分析模型的有效性與有用性。[[abstract]]From the view of network services, it is an important issue about how to provide proper services to the client networks in WDM networks. Some QoS parameters about network services such as delay, availability, and blocking probability have been studied in literature and several service level agreements (SLA) have been proposed based on these parameters. However, the flexibility of these services is poor and may not satisfy customers’ need of variety. In this project, we propose a new SLA model for best effort IP traffic over WDM networks. Two QoS metrics are jointly considered in our model, workable traffic volume and availability, as SLA parameters. Our SLA model is very flexible and may help operators to promote their customer acquisition, retention, loyalty, and profitability. First, we will formally specify the SLAmodel and devise an integer program to minimize operation cost. Next, we improve the scalability of the original problem by devising a heuristic algorithm. Then, we will consider another optimization goal to minimize the blocking probability, which is a good evaluation of theWDM network design to adopt this class of new services. Finally, we try to analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of our model by implementing simulation programs.[[note]]NSC97-2221-E327-01

    Implementing Soak Testing for an Access Network Solution

    Tietoliikennelaitteiden ohjelmistojen toiminnalle asetetaan erittäin kovat laatuvaatimukset. Operaattoreilla on yleensä asiakkaiden kanssa SLA sopimukset, joiden rikkomisesta operaattorit saattavat joutua maksamaan suuriakin korvauksia. Lisäksi jokainen hetki, jolloin laite ei ole toimintavalmis, tuottaa operaattorille kustannuksia menetettyjen tulojen muodossa. Tämän vuoksi on erittäin tärkeää, että laitteet ovat jatkuvasti toimintakunnossa eikä palvelukatkoksia tule. Tämän diplomityön tavoitteena oli kehittää automatisoitu pitkän ajan testausjärjestelmä IP/MPLS pohjaiselle Tellabs 8600 reititinperheelle. Testattava järjestelmä koostuu useista verkkoelementeistä sekä graafisesta Tellabs 8000 verkonhallintajärjestelmästä. Tämän testausympäristön tavoitteena on paljastaa ongelmia, jotka eivät tule esiin normaalissa toiminnallisessa tai regressiotestauksessa vaan vaativat ilmaantuakseen pidempää ajoaikaa tai useita toistoja. Työssä kehitettiin kehys sille, kuinka testausympäristössä voidaan suorittaa automaattisesti erilaisia operaatioita sekä voidaan ohjelmallisesti havaita mahdollisia ongelmatilanteita. Testausjärjestelmä toteutettiin onnistuneesti ja täyttää sille asetetut tavoitteet. Testausjärjestelmä on otettu käyttöön Tellabsin systeemitestauksessa ja on käyttöönoton jälkeen osoittautunut hyödylliseksi ja tehokkaaksi järjestelmäksi. Systeemitestauksen käyttöön toteutettiin myös toinen täysin identtinen ympäristö.The quality requirements are extremely demanding for telecommunications software. Operators usually have SLA agreements with their customers, and violations to that contract may lead to serious compensations. Furthermore, every moment that equipment or some service is not operating correctly means lost income for the operator. For these reasons, it is extremely important for a telecommunications equipment to continue functioning properly without service affecting breaks. The purpose of this thesis was to design and implement automated soak testing for the IP/MPLS-based Tellabs 8600 router series. The system under test is composed of several network elements and a graphical Tellabs 8000 Network Management System. The purpose of this testing environment is to reveal defects that do not show up immediately in functional or regression testing but may manifest when the system is used for longer periods or operations are executed many times. A framework for automatically operating the test network and detecting problems programmatically was implemented in this thesis. The testing environment was successfully implemented and satisfies the objectives initially set for it. Testing environment has been taken into use in system testing at Tellabs and after deployment has turned out to be useful and effective. Another identical environment was also implemented for the system testing group
