About the Cisco router SCE8000 Cisco WAN / Service Control appliance

The Cisco SCE8000 is a chassis-based service control engine and deep packet inspection appliance designed to deliver hardware-accelerated traffic processing at line rate across service provider and enterprise WAN environments. This 14U rack-mountable system handles millions of concurrent bidirectional flows, enabling granular visibility and policy enforcement across broadband aggregation, mobile packet core, and large enterprise WAN edge deployments.

Built on Cisco Service Control OS (SCOS), the SCE8000 combines advanced Layer 7 application intelligence with comprehensive subscriber management capabilities. The platform supports thousands of application and protocol signatures across both IPv4 and IPv6, enabling network engineers to classify, shape, and enforce tiered service policies on a per-subscriber and per-flow basis. Deployed as an in-line bump-in-the-wire appliance with optical bypass support, the SCE8000 integrates seamlessly with the Cisco Service Control Management Suite (SCMS), SNMP, and CLI management interfaces. Redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays ensure carrier-grade reliability for mission-critical traffic control, quota enforcement, and reporting functions.
