Service Engine 100

The Service Engine 100 is the basic model of the Service Control Platform designed to extend the visibility and control functions of the network for small to medium service providers.  The SE 100 provides the capabilities of identifying, classifying and controlling network traffic in a carrier grade 1.5 RU rack mountable device. The capacity and performance of the SE 100 provides:

• Stateful classification of up to 100,000 traffic flows at wire speeds
• Support of up to 10,000 concurrent subscribers
• 2 Fast Ethernet traffic interfaces
• Redundant AC or DC power supplies
• System by-pass mechanism for network service assurance
• Carrier grade platform that is NEBS Level 3 certified

With this capability the SE100 transforms IP access networks into a services delivery infrastructure over which the service provider now has full control and visibility.  Service providers can use the SE 100 to bill for very granular service usage and at the same also control traffic for service delivery assurance and abuse prevention.

The SE100 seamlessly interfaces with existing network elements including routers, switches, aggregators, subscriber management devices and operational support systems, using industry standard interfaces and communications protocols.  Bandwidth usage reports are fed to a mediation system or directly into BSS/OSS system.  Bandwidth control policies are uploaded to the Service Engine through simple GUI’s or interfaces provide by the device and supporting software applications.

Customers of all sizes use the SE 100 in their networks to perform IP service control and metering of services. This cost effective solution provides service providers with a compact, highly flexible service control solution that is easy to insert within their network.
