About this Guide


Note
Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS) represents a significant architectural change in the way StarOS-based products are deployed in the 3G, 4G, and 5G networks. Unless otherwise specified, it should not be assumed that any constructs (including, but not limited to, commands, statistics, attributes, MIB objects, alarms, logs, services) referenced in this document imply functional parity with CUPS products. References to any CUPS products or features are for informational purposes only. Please contact your Cisco Account or Support representative for any questions about parity between this product and any CUPS products.

Note

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.


Note

The HA, HSGW, PDSN, and SecGW products have reached end of life and are not supported in this release.

Full details on the end of life for these products are available at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/asr-5000-series/eos-eol-notice-c51-740422.html.

This preface describes the ADC Administration Guide, how it is organized and its document conventions.

Application Detection and Control (ADC) is a StarOS™ in-line service application that runs on Cisco® ASR 5500 platform.

The ADC in-line service makes use of innovative and highly accurate protocol behavioral detection techniques to reliably detect protocols and applications in the network. ADC is mainly used to detect Peer-to-Peer protocols by analyzing traffic, and can also detect network traffic created by audio and video clients.
