Service Control
The basic Cisco concept for enabling service
providers to differentiate subscribers, detect
real-time events, create premium services,
actively control applications, and leverage
their existing infrastructure.
Service Control Application
An SML program that determines how the
SCE Platform operates.
SLI (SML Loadable Image) File
An SLI file is a software package (part of a
Service Control application) that contains
the SML application that is loaded onto a
SCE Platform. The SML application
determines the behavior of the SCE
Platform. Different SCE Platforms can have
different SML applications, even when they
are within the same POP. (Operators do not
need to access the SLI file.)
smartSUB Manager (SM)
A middleware software component used in
cases where dynamic binding of subscriber
information and service configurations is
required. The SM manages subscriber
information and provisions it in real time to
multiple SCE Platforms. The SM can store
subscriber service configurations
information internally, and act as a state-full
bridge between the AAA system (for
example, RADIUS and DHCP) and the SCE
Platforms.
SML (Service Modeling Language)
The Cisco scripting language, which enables
the definition of service-related events and
the execution of actions on those events.
Subscriber
A Service Provider’s client, and an entity for
which the Service Control solutions provide
monitoring and active policy enforcement in
a single context.
T
Tunneling Protocols
A tunneling protocol adds headers to the
basic protocol stack in order to route the
packet across the network. Therefore, the
system must be configured to recognize and
either process or skip the additional tunnel
headers as necessary.
W
Warm start
Restarting the computer by performing a
reset operation.
