Auditing of Service Level Agreements (SLA) defines the process of monitoring whether a service provider delivers agreed upon service levels or not. While frameworks exist to monitor application-level SLAs, the end-to-end monitoring of IP-carrying SLAs, especially in a multi-domain environment like the Internet, is still an open issue. This work defines an ent-to-end auditing system for IP-carrying SLAs in a multidomain scenario. A special focus is set on the efficient measurement of the SLA parameters.
