This paper presents a survey of the protocols that have been proposed for facilitating dynamic service negotiation in next generation Internet. The paper begins by illustrating the terms Service Level Agreement (SLA) and Service Level Specification (SLS) defined by the IETF and then discusses the working of the existing service negotiation protocols with respect to a generic network architecture. Following that, the authors enumerate a list of characteristics desired in an ideal service negotiation protocol and draw a comparison between the various protocols based on this list and conclude the paper by discussing possible future research directions in this area.
