1. A method for managing services in a network comprising:
- a) specifying an initial service in a network service layer;
b) specifying at least one network performance criterium for the initial service in a network performance layer;
c) determining a network performance measure;
d) comparing the network performance measure and the network performance criterium; and
e) managing the service in the network based on the comparison.

Abstract
A system and method are described for selecting a service state using a configurable abstraction layer. A comparison is made between network parameters of a Network Performance Layer and network services of a Service Layer. Once network parameters are within a threshold for providing a given service, a state change can be made in the configuration parameters to suit the provided service.
