Managing Subscribers
The SCE platform is subscriber aware, that is, it can relate traffic and usage to specific customers. This
ability to map between IP flows and a specific subscriber allows the system to do the following:
• Maintain the state of each subscriber transmitting traffic through the platform
• Provide usage information for specific subscribers
• Enforce the appropriate policy on subscriber traffic (each subscriber can have a different policy)
