SRC Series

Juniper Networks SRC Series Session and Resource Control Modules enable service providers to deploy new subscription models, new value-added services, and guaranteed multimedia services, resulting in both increased revenue per bit and cost savings per bit for their network.

Enhanced broadband subscription offerings allow service providers to add new network layer services to their existing network, generating additional revenue from existing CAPEX investments. Enhanced broadband services include zero-touch provisioning (self-care), enhanced DHCP, tiered broadband plans (quota management), public WLAN, turbo button (bandwidth on demand), and dynamic business services (VPN management, security management, DDoS denial).

Many applications require large amounts of network bandwidth, creating congestion on a service provider's network. Because the service provider doesn’t owe or operate the applications, they don't create value or generate revenue. The SRC Series enables service providers to better manage subscriber bandwidth consumption on their networks for these applications, ensuring that service-level agreements are met even in the most congested areas of a network.

The SRC Series Session and Resource Control Modules consist of:

• The SRC Policy Engine, which maintains customer, network, and service configuration information to enable automated, policy-based service and subscriber provisioning. The SRC PE also allocates network resources in response to subscriber and application requests to ensure quality of service and experience and to protect the quality of previously accepted sessions.
• The SRC Diameter Gateway provides a Diameter interface that enables the SRC PE to perform Access Resource and Admission Control Functions (A-RACF), and to provision policies for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) services, across the IP/MPLS network infrastructure.
• The SRC SOAP Gateway (SRC SG) uses the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) to provide a simple, straightforward, and standard-based interface so that non-SRC Series applications can integrate with and use SRC software modules.
• The SRC Volume Tracking Application tracks subscribers, sessions, and applications based on granular, customer-configurable thresholds for volumes and durations, enabling fair resource usage. The SRC VTA can invoke policy-based actions, including limiting traffic, activating resources, and removing abusive users and applications.
• The SRC Threat Mitigation Portal (SRC TMP) works with Juniper Networks IDP Series Intrusion Detection and Prevention Appliances, Network and Security Manager, and routing platforms to dynamically detect and subvert threats to subscribers and the network.
