WS-SVC-CSG-1
Cisco Systems WS-SVC-CSG-1 / Cisco Content Services Gateway network monitoring device
Cisco Content Services Gateway (CSG) is the ideal solution for service providers seeking to apply advanced processing of IP flows through dynamic application-layer content examination, subscriber service access control, and subscriber account balance enforcement. The Cisco CSG is a specialized line card designed for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch and Cisco 7600 Series Router. It provides the capability for billing, service control, traffic analysis, and data mining in a highly scalable, fault-tolerant package.
The Cisco CSG enables whitelist and blacklist control for URL traffic, giving providers the ability to dynamically filter content for the protection of “vulnerable” users, offering age-restricted content to user segments and access control for corporations, providing protection from corporate liabilities related to inappropriate usage and content.
As part of the Cisco Mobile Exchange framework, the Cisco CSG brings value to all network access types. Cisco Mobile Exchange is a standards-based framework that links the radio access network (RAN) to IP networks and their value-added services. It comprises numerous components, including packet gateways, mobile services, load balancing, public wireless LAN, security, and network management services delivered on a range of Cisco platforms and application modules. Together, these components successfully address the many challenges that face mobile network operators as they seek profitability from their second-generation (2G), 2.5G, 3G, or next-generation mobile packet infrastructures and their 802.11 public WLAN hotspots. However, the Cisco CSG works in both wired and wireless IP environments and can support content-billing requirements for operators running multiple access technologies simultaneously.
