Confirmation of service levels via distributed ledgers

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory including a plurality of computer-executable components that are executable by the one or more processors to perform a plurality of actions, the plurality of actions comprising:
• receiving, at a network scheduler, a service level agreement (SLA) for transmitting data packets over a particular end-to-end network routing that is facilitated by a plurality of autonomous systems, the SLA prescribing a service level for a transmission between ends of the transmission, wherein the SLA includes a time window for the transmitting;
• tracking transitions between the autonomous systems;
• generating, by the network scheduler, a temporal audit trail of the SLA according to the tracked transitions, wherein the temporal audit trail includes a plurality of timestamped transactions;
• performing, by the network scheduler, a temporal enhancement of the SLA by using an asynchronous process calculus, wherein the temporal enhancement of the SLA includes choreographing the plurality of autonomous systems for the transmission;
• combining the generated temporal audit trail of the SLA and performed temporal enhancement of the SLA to check a service level against the service level prescribed by the SLA, wherein the temporal enhancement of the SLA enables an actual service level including an actual time window during actual data packet transit to be confirmed based on the combining;
• and
• committing the checked service level to a distributed ledger technology (DLT).
