Abstract
The evolution of existing satellite systems towards NGN infrastructure is a key element in the integration of satellite into new "convergence" concept. This requires a big effort taking into account the specific features and constraints of satellite networks compared to terrestrial networks. SLA management is one of the essential aspects to be studied. This paper will present an analysis concerning SLA management for satellite-NGN convergence networks. This integration will enable new business models and services for broadband satellite industry.
