– Higher bandwidth utilization - EIR
– Better utilization of network resources
allows
• Maintain customer satisfaction with
differentiated services
– Different Drop probability, delay and
jitter at different cost

– Multiple independent SLA monitoring and test instances per unit
“Loopback packets which
“Send a packet with VID 100 have VID 100 & IP SA
and IP SA 117.155.160.13 12 117.155.160.13 + perform IP
