The SURFnet network does have SLAs with its customers. Maybe the
difference is that it was designed with KISS as an important design
principle. Telcos seem to think that it all should be as complex
as possible. We did have problems with the combination of several
features. So we looked at which features could be scrapped and done
simpler.
