The 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 multi gigabit 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.
