DSP and LSP regarding the service quality requirements and expectations. DSP and LSP will use SLAs
Negotiation Interface to negotiate and establish mutually acceptable agreement on the delivery of the service.
SLAs 1, SLAs 2 and SLAs 3 contain the terms of the service level agreements as understood by both the DSP and
LSP. It covers items such as the responsibilities of each party (including acceptable performance parameters with
applicable metrics), a statement on the expected duration of the agreement, a description of the applications and
services covered by the agreement, procedures for monitoring the service levels, a schedule for remediation of
outages and associated penalties, and problem-resolution procedures. Measuring and reporting SLAs compliance
are the core components of any SLA-based system. SLA reporting is vital for both LSP and DSP as it is one of the
stages in SLAs process that indicates the level of compliance. KPIs and SLA metrics are used to measure and
assess the digital services performance under SLAs reporting. The report serves as the basis of intervention,
validation, justification and direction for agreed SLAs. Hence, SLM reporting is vital for both customer and
service provider.
