Service Control and the SCE Platform
The Cisco Service Control concept 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

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 SCE platform is a purpose-built network device making use of ASIC components and
RISC processors to go beyond packet counting and delve deeper into the contents of network
traffic to do the following:
Provide programmable, stateful inspection of bi-direction traffic flows
•
Map these flows with user ownership
•
• Provide a real-time classification of network usage, which is the basis of the SCE platform
advanced traffic control and bandwidth shaping functionality.
