We use the BRIX active measurement instrumentation product to measure
round-trip, jitter, and packet loss SLA conformity. =20

Greetings
I am curious to know about any tools/techniques that a service provider
uses
to assess an SLA before signing it. That is to say, how does an
administrator know if he/she can meet what he is promising. Is it based
on
experience? Are there commonly used tools for this?
Thanks and best regards
