Which component determines the PCE's behavior, including policy behavior and limits?

The component that determines the PCE's behavior, including policy behavior and limits, is the Configuration. This is the essential aspect of the PCE (Policy Compute Engine) that enables it to enforce and manage security policies. Specifically, Configuration encompasses the rules, parameters, and settings that dictate how the PCE should operate, respond to traffic, apply security measures, and adapt to changes within the environment.

The Configuration also allows administrators to define specific security policies, user roles, and access controls, which ultimately guide the PCE’s actions and responses to network conditions. By properly configuring these elements, organizations can ensure that their security policies are enforced effectively, based on their unique operational needs and threat landscape.

The other components, while they play important roles in providing context, tracking activity, and displaying information, do not fundamentally determine how the PCE behaves in terms of policy enforcement and operational limits.
