Introduction

This preface describes the Cisco Service Control Quota Manager User Guide, how it is organized, its document conventions, and how to obtain documentation and technical assistance.

This document is for ISPs and system integrators who integrate the Cisco Service Control Application for Broadband (Cisco SCA BB) solution with external components belonging to a customer's ecosystem to provide a quota management solution.

The document assumes that the reader is familiar with the Cisco SCA BB solution.
