This course prepares students to install and configure the Cisco® Service Control Application Solutions components, including the Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE), SCA-BB Console, Cisco Collection Manager, Traffic Reporter, and Cisco Subscriber Manager. Students use Cisco's planning, design, implementation, operation, and optimization (PDIOO) process to deploy several SCA solution topologies, including cascade (high availability) and multigigabit (MGSCP). Based on realistic use-case scenarios, students also use the SCA-BB Console to analyze network traffic with reports and design traffic control policies for link bandwidth optimization, to control traffic to the subscriber or application level, as well as to enable tiered service offerings.
