SCA-BB - Service Control Application for Broadband Training v2

Overview:

Gain the knowledge of and get hands-on experience with Cisco Service Control Application for Broadband (SCA-BB). Discover the elements of this solution including Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE), SCA-BB Console, Cisco Subscriber Manager (SM), and Cisco Collection Manager (CM), plus the Reporter, Service Configuration Editor, and Protocol Signature Editor tools. Learn to run and configure a SCA-BB solution for bandwidth control using several different subscriber modes: subscriberless, anonymous subscribers, subscriber-aware in push mode, subscriber-aware in pull mode, and using a RADIUS or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) system.

Objectives:

• Uses and benefits of bandwidth control provided by SCA-BB
• Configure the solution for building an SCA-BB site containing SCE, SM, Reporter, and a database
• Implement the setting of subscriberless global bandwidth controls
• Generate detailed reports on bandwidth usage by subscribers and service usage
• Extensibilities and customization available with using a database for report generation
• Configure anonymous and static users using the command-line interface on the Cisco SCE
• Configure subscribers using the Subscriber Manager application
• Implement the use of dynamic subscribers using SCA-BB integrated with an AAA system such as RADIUS or DHCP
• Implement optimized bandwidth controls for multitiered groups of subscribers
• Configure priorities for services for subscribers to optimize bandwidth usage
• Configure quota limits for subscriber usage of types of messages/services
• Create time-based bandwidth controls on subscribers
• Create greater classification enhancement and refinement through the use of zones and flavors
• Key points and effects on overall system design with SCA-BB using policy servers VAS and HA considerations
• Implement combinations of bandwidth controls: quota, time-based, and tiered services to provide comprehensive subscriber bandwidth controls
• Security issues and the solution's use of filters, spam protection, distributed denial-of-service attack protection, worm controls, and anomaly detection
• Create a new protocol signature
