Enhanced Subscriber Management for Triple Play: Applying Programmable Subscriber Configuration Policies

Overview

This paper explains the role and application of Programmable Subscriber Configuration Policies (PSCP) to support enhanced, scalable and unified subscriber management for triple play. PSCP harnesses the full deployment flexibility of Alcatel's Triple Play Service Delivery Architecture, and enables fully dynamic provisioning of subscriber access, Quality of Service (QoS) and security aspects, using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). PSCP is an Alcatel innovation that is fully compatible with existing Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) and DHCP environments, and leverages their combined strengths to give service providers a seamless migration path to an integrated and unified subscriber-management framework with superior flexibility and features.
