Cisco Dynamic Flow Control Solution

Tags:
isps

Overview Cisco Dynamic Flow Control (DFC) is a service-control engineering solution for service providers that focus on real-time bandwidth allocation for shaping end-user traffic. The solution enables new "Connected Life" services, while ensuring quality of experience for subscribers. DFC extends the availability of the network's most valuable resource - its bandwidth capacity. The infrastructure of the DFC solution includes PacketCable Multimedia (PCMM) technology in conjunction with Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), both of which are needed to deliver bandwidth-controlled services to the end user. This paper describes a solution that enables service providers to offer differentiated services to subscribers based on client applications in use today, as well as in the future.
