How to Create a Service Level Agreement for the Virtual Network

1. Design a policy that offers different levels of services at different prices.

   For example, you might create a basic, superior, and high levels of service, and price each level accordingly.

2. Decide whether you want to charge customers on a monthly, per service level basis, or charge customers on an actual bandwidth consumed basis.

   If you choose the latter pricing structure, you need to gather statistics on each customer's usage.

3. Create a virtual network on a host, with containers for each customer.

   A very common implementation is to give each customer their own zone running over a VNIC.

4. Create flows that isolate traffic for each zone.

   To isolate all traffic for the zone, you use the IP address that is assigned to the zone's VNIC.

5. Assign bandwidth to each VNIC based on the service level purchased by the customer assigned to that VNIC's zone.
