availability of SLA Management.
 
Definition
eSight can monitor, analyze, and manage the network status based on the
SLA. SLA management allows users to customize KPIs for different services
to monitor network quality. This provides a reliable basis for formulating a
network performance optimization solution. In addition, the Network Quality
Analysis (NQA) feature on network devices proactively sends diagnosis
packets between network devices. In this way, various KPIs, such as the
packet loss rate, delay, and jitter on links, can be measured to evaluate
network service quality.

Benefits
SLA management monitors service and network quality and helps O&M
personnel quickly demarcate and locate faults.

Network and service quality monitoring

The eSight SLA builds a KPI system that covers multiple service network
domains, such as video, voice, data, and IP networks, dynamically reports
network and service health status changes, checks whether network
services are affected, and visualizes network quality by displaying data in
charts. This allows enterprise users to learn about user experience and
uninterruptedly monitor network quality in real time.

Efficient fault demarcation and locating

The SLA obtains returned values of test cases using the NQA protocol
deployed on network devices and provides six types of test cases based
on specific service and network testing requirements. This facilitates high-
precision, high-frequency, and on-demand tests, helping to quickly
demarcate and locate faults.

Application Scenarios
SLA management is applicable to network quality monitoring, network quality
analysis, fast network diagnosis, and fault demarcation.

Network quality monitoring

Helps enterprises monitor network quality data provided by carriers in real
time around the clock to ensure that network quality meets the standards.

Network quality analysis

Monitors service quality of each QoS queue in two areas and compares
service quality based on historical task data.

Allows O&M personnel to view the task status overview, SLA service
types, top N minimum SLA compliance, and historical SLA task trend in
the overview.

Quick network diagnosis

Allows O&M personnel to use the quick diagnosis function to detect
exceptions on a network where no SLA task is created and view network
service quality.

Fault locating
Network quality monitoring facilitates fault demarcation. If a problem is
detected by E2E voice service diagnosis between campuses, segment-by-
segment quick diagnosis can be performed. First, quick diagnosis is
performed between the connected devices and campus egress devices. If Select the content with the

WLAN Management
This document describes the definition, benefits, application scenarios,
functions, standards and protocols, availability, technical principles,
dependencies, and limitations of eSight WLAN Management.

Definition
A wireless local area network (WLAN) refers to a network system in which
devices with wireless network cards are interconnected using RF wireless
communications technologies to provide network services for users with
wireless terminals, such as a mobile phone or a notebook computer.

On a common WLAN, access points (APs) are deployed in a distributed

manner to provide access capabilities for STAs. The wireless access
controller (WAC) centrally manages APs and provides large-capacity, highly
reliable, and easy-to-maintain wireless data control services.

Benefits
A WLAN is a typical cluster network with a large number of APs. WLAN O&M
is expensive and difficult. Unlike wired networks, wireless networks are more
vulnerable to interference sources and attacks due to their openness. AP
deployment locations, RF channel planning, and power configuration directly
affect user experience, posing high requirements on O&M personnel. The
eSight WLAN management service provides resource and regional monitoring
and O&M capabilities, helping network administrators efficiently perform high-
quality network planning and routine monitoring, achieve operations and O&M
objectives, and ensure wireless user experience.

Application Scenarios
