摘要：In accordance with the present invention, a system and method for generating aservice level agreement (SLA) template are disclosed. The SLA template generated bythe disclosed system enables deployment of resources to support a number of SLAs and

associated VPNs. The SLA template generated by operation of the disclosed system mayinclude a first graphical user interface (GUI) template that specifies, at least in part, a GUIfor use by a customer service representative (CSR) when accepting a service request ororder from a customer. The disclosed SLA template may further include a number of SLAdefaults, which may consist of default values and or software program code logic. TheSLA defaults enable an SLA GUI to be configured such that a relatively small amount ofinformation can be collected and used to derive other necessary configuration data. Asecond GUI template may be included in the SLA template to specify information to beobtained regarding networking devices and associated resources that must be used toprovide a VPN over which are provided the services described in a particular SLA. Suchinformation may, for example, describe a VPN ID, the connectivity between specificnetworking devices in a core network, and other parameters that reflect the resourcesthat may be allocated to various customers. The SLA template may further include anumber of VPN constraints on the network over which the services described in the SLAare provided.
