In a net-centric architecture prescribed by DoDAF 1.5, the SV-6 workproduct is used to present service data exchanges modeled in the SV-1, specific information of the service data content, and how it is implemented in the net centric architecture. You can generate an SV-6b report that describes, in a tabular format, the structure of each service data exchange such as availability, capacity, latency, reliability, information assurance, size, format, periodicity, and security.
