Performance Policy utilizes link quality metrics such as Latency, Loss, and
Jitter as well as application performance metrics such as Application RTT and Init
failure % as SLA metrics. If the SLA metrics are violated, the system takes action
to ensure that the SLA is enforced including moving flows to a compliant path (if
available) and invoking line conditioning such as Forward Error Correction (FEC) to
ensure the SLA is met. Optionally, an incident can be generated for critical
applications when an SLA is violated. Although default policies work well for most
environments, policies can be granularly tuned per application, path type, DC group,
and circuit category to align to the performance needs of the business.
