You are talking standard SLAs tho right? Guarantee 0.001% packet loss, RTT Xms
between points on your network.. etc.
I was interested in traffic engineering, ATM/Frame PVC style. RSVP, MPLS TE,
diffserv and all that good stuff, of which I had no responses of people using it
and selling them as services.
