About SCMP
The Service Control Management Protocol (SCMP) is a protocol that integrates the SCE platform and
the ISG (Intelligent Service Gateway) functionality of the Cisco routers, thereby providing a mechanism
that allows the ISG and the SCE platform to manage subscriber sessions together without requiring
coordination and orchestration by additional components.

SCMP Subscriber Management, page 11-6
The SCMP is a Cisco proprietary protocol that uses the RADIUS protocol with CoA (Change of
Authorization) support as a transport layer. The SCMP provides connection management messages,
subscriber management and subscriber accounting messages. Each subscriber in the SCE platform
represents a session in the SCMP peer (as defined by the ISG terminology).
Connection management
The SCE platform initiates the connection to the peer device. On SCMP connection establishment, the
SCE platform and ISG negotiate the following details:
•
Introduction mode – whether the SCMP peer must send a session-provisioning message on session
creation.
•
Keep-alive message interval
•
Protocol version
