Abstract:This article proposes a Service Level Agreement applied to the optical domain (0-SLA), which is expected to be the near and long term network technology thanks, among other things, to the great bandwidth capacity offered by optical devices. After an exposition of the rationale behind an optical SLA, parameters which could in this 0-SLA, as well as their values for four classes of services, are proposed. Different client (wavelength or subwavelength) and services types (from leased wavelength to bandwidth on demand) are distinguished when necessary.
