19.4 SLA propagation
An SLA Group can be bound to any topology element type. In order to avoid unnecessary
binding of the same SLA Groups to multiple topology elements, there is a propagation
hierarchy how SLA Groups are propagated from different levels within the topology hierarchy.
This means that for example if SLA Group is only bound to Top level organization, it is
propagated to each element under the organization. On the other hand, if an SLA Group is
explicitly bound to a topology element, this SLA Group is always applied to the topology
element.
The following figure depicts the SLA propagation order:
Propagation rules are the following:
 Wireless network inherits from Organization.
o If the Organization does not have a bound SLA Group, Wireless network
inherits SLA Group from parent Organization of its own Organization.
 Link inherits from Access Point or Link Group.
o If both have an SLA Group, SLA Group is inherited from the Access Point.
o If the Access Point does not have a bound SLA Group, the Link inherits the
Group from Eye, etc.
o If the Link Group does not have a bound SLA Group, the Link inherits the
Group from the Location, etc.
