Product Overview

Getting the most value from

residential and mobile services

requires personalizing the

experience for each subscriber. To

deliver dynamic user experiences,

service providers need to have

knowledge of the customer, the

application being used, and the

state of the network in real time.

With this knowledge, providers

can deliver value-added services

known as context-aware services.

Juniper’s edge services portfolio,

leveraging Junos Subscriber

Aware, Junos Application Aware,

and Junos Policy Control will

allow residential and mobile

service providers to customize

and tailor services that distinguish

them when compared to over-

the-top (OTT) applications.

Product Description

To develop context awareness, service providers need to harness the enormous amount of

information they have about subscribers, their location, their devices, and the applications

they are using. With this awareness, providers have the ability to capitalize on their

subscribers’ context by being able to create service offerings that fulfill behavioral needs.

To do this successfully, service providers must acquire knowledge of subscriber behaviors,

of what applications they use in different locations, through different devices, and under

different circumstances. This challenge combines aspects of data collection, analysis,

consolidation (according to different perspectives), and reporting, so that the service

provider will not only understand but can gradually model the subscriber behaviors in

specific offerings. In a word, this challenge is about subscriber-aware analytics.

Juniper Networks® Junos® Subscriber Aware identifies the subscriber’s association with a

flow and classifies traffic based on subscriber privilege, permitting differentiated services

based on subscriber policy by:

• Dynamically redirecting new flows to subscriber identification engine and checking

subscriber identity for a policy match

• Configuring forwarding plane to forward, rate limit, mark, or drop packets associated

with flow based on policy

• Using Junos Application Aware to correlate application usage with subscriber identity

Architecture and Key Components

Junos Policy Control

Junos Policy Control enables policy enforcement and charging. When combined with Junos

Application Aware and Junos Subscriber Aware, it provides dynamic policy and online

charging capabilities. Junos Policy Control enables a Gx Diameter interface towards the

Policy Charging and Rules Function (PCRF) following the Traffic Detection Function (TDF)

model in Third-Generation Partnership Program (3GPP) LTE networks.

Junos Application Aware

Junos Application Aware uses deep packet inspection (DPI) to identify and classify traffic

on a per application basis, enabling competitive differentiation based on application-

specific services:

• Uses DPI, a signature database, well-known addresses and ports to identify

applications associated with a new flow, and then, through Junos Subscriber Aware,

checks the application type for a policy match

• Collects statistics on a per application basis in support of operational tasks

• Can be deployed with Junos Subscriber Aware to correlate application usage with

subscriber identity
