The Service Control Engine family of programmable network devices is capable of performing stateful flow inspection of IP traffic, and controlling that traffic based on configurable rules. The Service Control Engine platforms provide a real-time classification of network usage through programmable, stateful inspection of bi-directional traffic flows and the mapping of these flows with user ownership.

The following diagram demonstrates a deployment of an SCE 2000 platform in the network.
