• A range of IP addresses
• A group of VLAN tags
Mapping IP traffic flows to subscribers enables the SCE Platform to enforce policies on these
flows based on the subscriber who produced them.
The SCE Platform can also insert the information that identifies the subscriber into the RDR
records that it produces for analyzed traffic, facilitating OSS systems that use these data records
for billing and analysis purposes.
The SCE Platform includes dedicated infrastructure for per-subscriber BW shaping, IP traffic
quota management, or any other per-subscriber long-term state management. This is implemented
using a set of dedicated data structures that are dynamically managed in the SCE Platform per
subscriber.
The SCE Platform examines each IP flow and maps it to the subscriber that produced the flow
using one or more networking parameters of this flow. Examples of these could be:
• Source IP address
• Group of source IP addresses
• Range of source IP addresses
• VLAN tag
