- In conjunction with the Policy Element, automates network-wide, real-time feedback and corrective action to maintain custom SLAs
- SLAs established per customer, per interconnection partner, per service, etc.
- Filters and relays events to the clients in an open and standard format for:
- Easing the integration with the customized event processing
Monitoring and fraud management applications, etc.
