SLA monitoring software package

["Yu Ning" <yuning () ns chinanet cn net>]

Hi All,

As we know SLA is frequently referred by some major NSPs, I wonder if there is any
vendor specific, or third party software package that can help an NSP to monitor its 
backbone network and to see if its network conform their SLA agreement with customers?

If there is any well-known SLA monitoring software ? How about IPM (Internet Performance
Monitor) by Cisco? Anyone has any comment on using IPM ?

thanks any input!

best
