Camiant's Multimedia Policy Engine
Camiant's Multimedia Policy Engine (MPE) is a central component of the broadband network, providing vital real-time intelligence and control.
The MPE is an intelligent platform for applying operator-defined business rules that determine which customers, tiers and/or applications receive bandwidth priority, at what charge and how much they may use. It undertakes the responsibility to render the appropriate conditions for every application; it has a real-time understanding of the utilization state of network resources; and it provides an infrastructure for new revenue opportunities.
In addition to managing network resources, the Camiant MPE includes such value-added features as load-balanced scalability, comprehensive state maintenance, and high availability without any single point of failure. The MPE is capable of interfacing directly with Camiant-provided or third party applications and IP network devices and is compliant with a number of industry-specific standards. In addition, the MPE is also capable of routing messages to other policy servers, a facility that allows operators to create hierarchical architectures that enhance the scalability of overall network infrastructures and provide tremendous flexibility in application deployments.
