The significant parameters for a voice service level
• The time that it takes until a user hears a dial tone when picking up the
phone.

11.3 Defining a Service Level Agreement
11.3.2 Tracking Service Level Objectives
The considerations
Before Operational
• Service need to be setup:
oBuild out my Network and Resources.
oConnections must be dimensioned.
oPorts assignments.
oPlanning the Topology.
11.4 Managing for a Service Level
After Operational
• Monitoring the service Level:
oEnsure that service level objectives that were promised are being
met.
oPerform scenario of flaws and define preventing actions that needed.
oGathering all statistical data.
That’s Why Service Level Monitoring is important
11.4 Managing for a Service Level
To make management easy, you must understand each piece in service .
• Benefits:
oHelps to diagnose and detect the root problem that may degrade
SLA.
oEase to assess drop in performance of the service and taking counter
measure before customers are even impacted.
oProvides guidance to plan and design the network for a given service
level.
oHelpful to devise a strategy for how to monitor the service.

11.4 Managing for a Service Level
Network Maintenance Considerations
• When the service is operational the manager has to monitor the service
incase of alerts or warning is appeared.
• This give the manager a chance to perform some
process(countermeasure actions) to prevent errors before it happened.
• Service Level Monitoring consists of:
oMonitoring SL parameters(Performance).
oDetecting when problem is about to occur.
summary
• Service level agreements are often at the core of the business relationship between
the provider and the customer of a service.
• An SLA specifies a set of service level objectives, how those objectives will be
tracked and verified, and the course of action that needs to be taken along with
possible consequences if service level objectives are violated.
• A service level objective sets a target for a service level parameter—generally, a
parameter that is related to the performance, capacity, or availability of a service.
• Service level monitoring involves monitoring and analyzing operational and state
data that provides an indication of the service level that is currently being
experienced.
• It is important to spot developing problems early, to be able to take countermeasures
in time.
• data about the service level that is currently experienced should not be discarded,
but collected.
