Cisco SCE8000 GBE Installation and Configuration Guide
Chapter 1 Cisco Service Control Overview
Cisco Service Control Solution
Cisco Service Control Solution
The Cisco service control solution is delivered through a combination of specific hardware and 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.
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, Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) 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).
