Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus 20 and 40-Gbps Line Cards Data Sheet
Available Languages
The Cisco® 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus 40-Gbps (ES+40) line cards use an extensible design that allows service prioritization for voice, video, data, and wireless mobility services. Service providers and enterprises can benefit from the improved economics, density, advanced Carrier Ethernet features, and high performance of the ES+40 fixed-configuration line cards. With the same architecture and features, the Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus 20-Gbps (ES+20) line cards are designed for networks with lower interface density requirements. In the following sections, the ES+40 and ES+20 line cards are referred to as the ES Plus cards.
The Cisco 7600 ES Plus cards’ programmable interface processors protect network investments and reduce total cost of ownership. The design increases connectivity options and offers superior service intelligence through programmable interface processors operating at line rate. This data sheet contains the specifications for the Cisco 7600 ES Plus line cards (Figure 1) as supported on the Cisco 7600 Series Routers. The ES+40 and ES+20 linecards are also supported on Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. For more information on this support, please visit: <URL>
Product Overview
Designed for Carrier Ethernet, IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching Provider Edge (IP/MPLS PE), mobile wireless backhaul, and enterprise WAN/MAN applications, the Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus 40-Gbps line cards (ES+40) support up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth with 40 ports of Gigabit Ethernet or 4 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. With the same architecture and features, the Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus 20-Gbps line cards (ES+20) offer 20 Gbps of bandwidth with 20 ports of Gigabit Ethernet or 2 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The cards feature hierarchical quality of service (QoS), locally significant VLANs, distributed MAC learning, and up to 16,000 Ethernet service instances per line card for rich services. The Cisco 7600 ES Plus line cards provide the unique ability to combine both Layer 2 and Layer 3 services on the same line card. The combination of native Ethernet Layer 2 switching, bridging, Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS), Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS), and Layer 3 IP/MPLS routing distinguishes this line card among other products on the market, particularly in Carrier Ethernet applications.
The ES Plus line cards also include synchronization circuitry enabling them to provide standards-based functions for delivering and deriving transport-class network timing, enabling support of network-synchronized services and applications such as mobile backhaul and time-division multiplexing (TDM) migration.
Recognizing that real-time media dominate next-generation services, Cisco has integrated video monitoring technology into the ES Plus line cards. This multimedia technology enables real-time monitoring and statistics collection for video flows, enabling proactive maintenance and management of today's media-rich services - without the use of additional service modules or external probes. To see a video demonstration of inline video monitoring from Cisco in action, visit http://www.cisco.com/web/solutions/routingswitching/vidmon.html.
The innovative architecture of these industry-leading, premium line cards is designed to deliver cost-effective, high-touch features, combining both application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and network processor technologies for an optimal combination of performance and flexibility. The Cisco 7600 ES Plus line cards provide distributed forwarding with proven ASIC technology in the forwarding path (routing, switching, NetFlow, and access control lists [ACLs]), as well as for queuing and shaping functions to provide the maximum performance for these foundational features. Additionally, four (for the ES+40 line cards) or two (for the ES+20 line cards) programmable network processors are included in the forwarding plane to facilitate flexibility and feature growth. This ideal technology combination offers customers the necessary flexibility for future service deployments and allows them to scale the system capacity as required.
