Service Selection Gateway (SSG) is a switching solution for service providers who offer intranet, extranet, and Internet connections to subscribers using broadband access technology such as Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), cable modems, or wireless to allow simultaneous access to network services. SSG works in conjunction with the Cisco Service Selection Dashboard (SSD) or its successor product, the Cisco Subscriber Edge Services Manager (SESM). Together with the SESM or SSD, SSG provides subscriber authentication, service selection, and service connection capabilities to subscribers of Internet services. Subscribers interact with an SESM or SSD web application using a standard Internet browser. This paper describes the Service Selection Gateway feature in Cisco IOS Releases 12.2(4)B and 12.2(8)T.
