The Cisco SCE8000 Platform

The Cisco SCE8000 is a solution for dual links with load sharing and asymmetrical routing and support
for fail-over between two SCE platforms.
The Cisco SCE8000 is built to support wire speed processing of full-duplex 10GBE streams. The Cisco
SCE8000 can, therefore, be deployed in a multi-link environment, in several different topologies.

Single Cisco SCE8000 topology — Provides the ability to process both directions of a bi-directional
flow, processing both the upstream and downstream paths of a flow, even if they traverse different
links.
Dual Cisco SCE8000 topology (cascade) — Cascaded Cisco SCE8000s provide high-availability
and fail-over solution and maintain the line and service in case of Cisco SCE8000 failure
Multi-Gigabit Service Control Platform (MGSCP) topology — For scalability, the Cisco SCE8000
platform supports the option to connect a multiple number of SCE platforms to a Cisco 7600 Series
router used to perform load-balancing between the platforms.
