Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) help network administrators ensure that a high level of voice and data communication quality is maintained.

Scrutinizer can present network traffic data in a number of different ways, including showing the amount and type of traffic that is flowing through an autonomous system (or AS).

An autonomous system is a collection of connected Internet Protocol routing prefixes under the control of one or more network operators, and presents a common, clearly defined routing policy to the Internet.
