Cisco Service Control Solution
The Cisco Service Control solution is delivered through a combination of purpose-built hardware and
specific software solutions that address various service control challenges faced by service providers.
The SCE platform is designed to support classification, analysis, and control of Internet/IP traffic.
Service Control enables service providers to create profitable new revenue streams while capitalizing on
their existing infrastructure. With the power of Service Control, service providers have the ability to
analyze, charge for, and control IP network traffic at multigigabit wire line speeds. The Cisco Service
Control solution also gives service providers the tools they need to identify and target high-margin
content-based services and to enable their delivery.
As the downturn in the telecommunications industry has shown, IP service providers’ business models
need to be reworked to make them profitable. Having spent billions of dollars to build ever larger data
links, providers have incurred massive debts and faced rising costs. At the same time, 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. However, capturing real profits from IP services requires more
than simply running those services over data links; it requires detailed monitoring and precise, real-time
control and awareness of services as they are delivered. Cisco provides Service Control solutions that
allow the service provider to bridge this gap.
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 new 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 SLAs
• Implement different service levels for different types of customers, content, or applications
• Identify network abusers who are violating the Acceptable Use Policy
• Identify and manage peer-to-peer, NNTP (news) traffic, and spam abusers
• Enforce the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
• Integrate Service Control solutions easily with existing network elements and BSS/OSS systems

Chapter 1 General Overview
Cisco Service Control Capabilities
The core of the Cisco Service Control solution is the purpose-built 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 in order
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 via 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.
Cisco Service Control Capabilities
• Application-layer, stateful, real-time traffic control—The ability to perform advanced control
functions, including granular 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 easily adapt to new services and
applications in the ever-changing 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.
• 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 and robust integration process.
• Scalable high-performance service engines—The ability to perform all these operations at wire
speed.

SCE Platform
SCE Platform
The SCE family of programmable network devices is capable of performing application-layer
stateful-flow inspection of IP traffic, and controlling that traffic based on configurable rules. The SCE
platform is a purpose-built network device that uses ASIC components and RISC processors to go
beyond packet counting and delve deeper into the contents of network traffic. Providing programmable,
stateful inspection of bidirectional traffic flows and mapping these flows with user ownership, the SCE
platforms provide real-time classification of network usage. This information provides the basis of the
SCE platform advanced traffic-control and bandwidth-shaping functionality. Where most bandwidth
shaper functionality ends, the SCE platform provides more control and shaping options, including:
• Layer 7 stateful wire-speed packet inspection and classification
• Robust support for over 600 protocols and applications, including:
• Programmable system core for flexible reporting and bandwidth control
• Transparent network and BSS/OSS integration into existing networks

Information About Management and Collection
The Cisco Service Control solution includes a complete management infrastructure that provides the
following management components to manage all aspects of the solution:
• Network management
• Subscriber management
• Service Control management
These management interfaces are designed to comply with common management standards and to
integrate easily with existing OSS infrastructure (Figure 1-2).

Cisco provides complete network FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security)
Management.
Two interfaces are provided for network management:
• Command-line interface (CLI)—Accessible through the Console port or through a Telnet
• SNMP—Provides fault management (via SNMP traps) and performance monitoring functionality.

Chapter 1 General Overview
Subscriber Management
Where the Cisco Service Control Application for Broadband (SCA BB) enforces different 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 the OSS and the 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.
Subscriber Management
Service Control 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 simple,
standards-based approach makes it easy to manage multiple devices in a large network.
Service Control provides an easy-to-use GUI to edit and create these files and a complete set of APIs to
automate their creation.
Data Collection
The Cisco Service Control solution generates usage data and statistics from the SCE platform and
forwards them as Raw Data Records (RDRs), using a simple TCP-based protocol (RDR-Protocol). The
Cisco Service Control Management Suite (SCMS) Collection Manager (CM) software implements the
collection system, listening in on RDRs from one or more SCE platforms and processing them on the
local machine. The data is then stored for analysis and reporting functions, and for the collection and
presentation of data to additional OSS systems such as billing.
