	Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC) is a solution which uses multiple technologies of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers (ASR 1000) and Cisco Integrated Service Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2), and network management tools which, together provide powerful and pervasive integrated solution for discovering and controlling applications. Network administrators gain visibility into applications running in their network and their performance, as well as being able to apply application policy control to improve application performance and control network resource usage.
