Cisco Service Control Application for Broadband Reference Guide
This preface describes who should read the Cisco Service Control Application for Broadband Reference Guide, how it is organized, its document conventions, and how to obtain documentation and technical assistance. This guide assumes a basic familiarity with the concept of the Cisco Service Control solution, the Service Control Engine (SCE) platforms, and related components.
This guide provides information about the data structures created and used by SCA BB. It is intended for:
- The administrator who is responsible for daily operation of the Cisco Service Control solution
- Integrators who are developing applications on top of SCA BB
Information About Protocols
Protocols are divided into four groups:
- Generic Protocols—These protocols are used for transactions that were not mapped to a service by one of the more specific protocol types.
- Signature-Based Protocols—Protocols classified according to a Layer 7 application signature. This group includes the most common protocols, such as HTTP and FTP, and a large group of popular P2P protocols.
- IP Protocols—Protocols (such as ICMP), other than TCP and UDP protocols, identified according to the IP protocol number of the transaction.
- Port-Based Protocols—TCP and UDP protocols that are classified according to their well-known ports. The default configuration includes more than 600 common port-based protocols.
You may add new protocols (for example, to classify a new gaming protocol that uses a specific port) and edit or remove existing ones.
The tables in the following sections list the protocols defined in the default service configuration.
