Cisco Service Control Overview
This chapter provides a general overview of the Cisco Service Control solution. It introduces the Cisco
service control concept and capabilities.
It also briefly describes the hardware capabilities of the service control engine (SCE) platform and the
Cisco specific applications that together compose the complete Cisco service control solution.

• SCE Platform Description, page 1-3
• Management and Collection, page 1-4
Cisco Service Control Solution
The Cisco service control solution is delivered through a combination of hardware and specific software
solutions that address various operational and business-related challenges. Service providers can use the
SCE platform to support classification, analysis, and control of Internet and IP traffic.
Service control enables service providers to:
• Capitalize on existing infrastructure.
• Analyze, charge for, and control IP network traffic at multigigabit wire line speeds.
• Identify and target high-margin content-based services and enable their delivery.
As access and bandwidth have become commodities where prices continually fall and profits disappear,
service providers have realized that they must offer value-added services to derive more revenue from
the traffic and services running on their networks.
Cisco service control solutions allow the service provider to capture profits from IP services through
detailed monitoring, precise, real-time control, and awareness of applications as they are delivered.

Chapter 1 Cisco Service Control Overview
Cisco Service Control Capabilities
Service Control for Broadband Service Providers
Service providers of any access technology (DSL, cable, mobile, and so on) targeting residential and
business consumers must find new ways to get maximum leverage from their existing infrastructure,
while differentiating their offerings with enhanced IP services.
The Cisco service control application for broadband adds a layer of service intelligence and control to
existing networks that can:
• Report and analyze network traffic at subscriber and aggregate level for capacity planning
• Provide customer-intuitive tiered application services and guarantee application service level
agreements (SLAs)
• Implement different service levels for different types of customers, content, or applications
• Identify network abusers who are violating the acceptable use policy (AUP)
• Identify and manage peer-to-peer traffic, NNTP (news) traffic, and spam abusers
• Enforce the AUP
• Integrate Service Control solutions easily with existing network elements and business support
systems (BSS) and operational support systems (OSS)
Cisco Service Control Capabilities
The core of the Cisco service control solution is the network hardware device: the Service control engine
(SCE). The core capabilities of the SCE platform, which support a wide range of applications for
delivering service control solutions, include:
• Subscriber and application awareness—Application-level drilling into IP traffic for real-time
understanding and controlling of usage and content at the granularity of a specific subscriber.
– Subscriber awareness—The ability to map between IP flows and a specific subscriber to
maintain the state of each subscriber transmitting traffic through the SCE platform and to
enforce the appropriate policy on this subscriber’s traffic.
Subscriber awareness is achieved either through dedicated integrations with subscriber
management repositories, such as a DHCP or a RADIUS server, or through sniffing of RADIUS
or DHCP traffic.
– Application awareness—The ability to understand and analyze traffic up to the application
protocol layer (Layer 7).
For application protocols implemented using bundled flows (such as FTP, which is implemented
using Control and Data flows), the SCE platform understands the bundling connection between
the flows and treats them accordingly.
• Application-layer, stateful, real-time traffic control—The ability to perform advanced control
functions, including granular bandwidth (BW) metering and shaping, quota management, and
redirection, using application-layer, stateful, real-time traffic transaction processing. This requires
highly adaptive protocol and application-level intelligence.
• Programmability—The ability to quickly add new protocols and adapt to new services and
applications in the service provider environment. Programmability is achieved using the Cisco
Service Modeling Language (SML).
Programmability allows new services to be deployed quickly and provides an easy upgrade path for
network, application, or service growth.

Chapter 1 Cisco Service Control Overview
SCE Platform Description
• Robust and flexible back-office integration—The ability to integrate with existing third-party
systems at the service provider, including provisioning systems, subscriber repositories, billing
systems, and OSS systems. The SCE provides a set of open and well-documented APIs that allows
a quick integration process.
• Scalable high-performance service engines—The ability to perform all of these operations at wire
speed.
SCE Platform Description
The SCE family of programmable network devices performs application-layer stateful-flow inspection
of IP traffic, and controls the traffic based on configurable rules. The SCE platform is a network device
that uses ASIC components and reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processors to exceed beyond
packet counting and expand into the contents of network traffic. Providing programmable, stateful
inspection of bidirectional traffic flows, and mapping these flows with user ownership, SCE platforms
provide real-time classification of network use. The classification provides the basis of the SCE platform
advanced traffic-control and bandwidth-policing functionality. Where most bandwidth control
functionality ends, the SCE platform provides further control and shaping options, including:
• Layer 7 stateful wire-speed packet inspection and classification
• Robust support for more than 600 protocols and applications, including:
– General—HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Telnet, Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP), Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), Internet Message Access Protocol
(IMAP), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), and others
– Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing—FastTrack-KazaA, Gnutella, BitTorrent, Winny, Hotline,
eDonkey, DirectConnect, Piolet, and others
– P2P VoIP—Skype, Skinny, DingoTel, and others
– Streaming and Multimedia—Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP), HTTP streaming, Real Time Protocol (RTP) and Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP), and
others
• Programmable system core for flexible reporting and bandwidth control
• Transparent network and BSS and OSS integration into existing networks
• Subscriber awareness that relates traffic and usage to specific customers

Network Management
The Cisco service control solution provides complete network Fault, Configuration, Accounting,
Performance, Security (FCAPS) Management.
Two interfaces provide network management:
• Command-line interface (CLI)—Accessible through the Console port or through a Telnet
connection, the CLI is used for configuration and security functions.
• SNMP—Provides fault management (through SNMP traps) and performance-monitoring
functionality.
Subscriber Management
Where the Cisco service control application for broadband (SCA BB) enforces policies on different
subscribers and tracks usage on an individual subscriber basis, the Cisco service control management
suite (SCMS) subscriber manager (SM) may be used as middleware software for bridging between OSS
and SCE platforms. Subscriber information is stored in the SM database and can be distributed between
multiple platforms according to actual subscriber placement.
The SM provides subscriber awareness by mapping network IDs to subscriber IDs. It can obtain
subscriber information using dedicated integration modules that integrate with AAA devices, such as
RADIUS or DHCP servers.
Subscriber information may be obtained in one of two ways:
• Push Mode—The SM pushes subscriber information to the SCE platform automatically upon logon
of a subscriber.
• Pull Mode—The SM sends subscriber information to the SCE platform in response to a query from
the SCE platform.

Chapter 1 Cisco Service Control Overview
Management and Collection
Service Configuration Management
Service configuration management is the ability to configure the general service definitions of a service
control application. A service configuration file containing settings for traffic classification, accounting
and reporting, and control is created and applied to an SCE platform. The SCA BB application provides
tools to automate the distribution of these configuration files to SCE platforms. This standards-based
approach makes it easy to manage multiple devices in a large network.
Service Control provides a GUI to edit and create these files and a complete set of APIs to automate their
creation.
Data Collection
Data collection occurs as follows:
1. All analysis and data processing functions of the SCE platform result in the generation of Raw Data
Records (RDRs), which the SCE platform forwards using a simple TCP-based protocol
(RDR-Protocol).
2. RDRs are processed by the Cisco service control management suite collection manager.
3. The collection manager software is an implementation of a collection system that receives RDRs
from one or more SCE platforms. It collects these records and processes them in one of its adapters.
Each adapter performs a specific action on the RDR.
RDRs contain a variety of information and statistics, depending on the configuration of the system.
Three main categories of RDRs include:
• Transaction RDRs—Records generated for each transaction, where a transaction is a single event
detected in network traffic. The identification of a transaction depends on the particular application
and protocol.
• Subscriber Usage RDRs—Records generated per subscriber, describing the traffic generated by that
subscriber for a defined interval.
• Link RDRs—Records generated per link, describing the traffic carried on the link for a defined
interval.

Information About the SCE Platform
The Service Control Engine (SCE) platform, which is the hardware component of the Cisco Service
Control solution, is designed to support observation, analysis, and control of Internet/IP traffic. The
following table summarizes model information for the Cisco SCE8000 platform.
The Cisco SCE8000 is a transparent element with 10GBE links service throughput. It can be installed
inline in the network where the entire traffic passes through it or in receive-only mode where it receives
replication of the traffic through SPAN ports or optical splitters.
