Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Series 60-Port 10Gbps Label Switch Router Line Card Data Sheet
Available Languages
Cisco® Network Convergence System (NCS) 6000 Series Routers offer exceptional network agility, packet optical convergence, and petabit-per-second system scale. The Cisco NCS 6000 Series also facilitates the buildout of the next-generation core to support elastic capacity at a low TCO and to deliver high-bandwidth mobile, video, and cloud services.
Using the industry-leading Cisco IOS® XR operating system, running in a virtualized environment, the Cisco NCS 6000 Series advances the concept of distributed routing and virtualization. Using virtualized Cisco IOS XR, the Cisco NCS 6000 Series brings new levels of programmability and virtualization to support a wider range of new offerings, accelerate provisioning, and make the network more cost effective.
The Cisco NCS 6000 Series is powered by Cisco nPower Network Processor Units (NPUs). Cisco nPower devices are state-of-the-art programmable forwarding application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) designed to deliver the industry’s first zero-packet-loss (ZPL) and zero-topology-loss (ZTL) software-upgrade capability software upgrade capability based on Cisco patented technologies.
The Cisco NCS 6000 Series is engineered for environmental efficiency by offering an adaptable power-consumption model for its ASICs, and the use of revolutionary complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) photonics technology. With these technologies together, the Cisco NCS 6000 Series can offer a highly power-efficient footprint for service provider routing.
Features and Benefits
Cisco NCS 6000 Series 60-Port 10Gbps Label Switch Router (LSR) line cards (Figure 1) are industry-leading solutions that allow service providers to offer very high throughput over 60 ports with 10-Gbps interfaces. Optimized for high-speed Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label-switching applications, they provide industry-leading forwarding scale and associated per-port quality of service (QoS) at wire rate.
Cisco NCS 6000 Series 60-Port 10Gbps LSR Line Cards use the state-of-the-art Cisco nPower intelligent silicon design. Using enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules, these cards support a variety of optical fibers, reaches, and optical capabilities.
The Cisco NCS 6000 Series 60-Port 10Gbps LSR line cards offer significant advantages to service providers:
● Label-switch forwarding capability
● Support across all Cisco NCS 6000 Series single-chassis and multichassis configurations for investment protection
● Efficient environmental design by adapting the power consumption to active Cisco nPower resources only
● In-service software upgrade
● Independently programmable and upgradable NPUs with fault protection and isolation
● Enhanced onboard multicore CPU for accelerated and scalable software processing
● Integrated WAN physical layer (PHY) and OTU-2 framers for G.709 termination at 10-Gbps speeds
● Up to eight queues per physical interface
● Accurate hardware-assisted time-stamping support for OAM and service-level agreement (SLA) monitoring
● Industry-leading environmental efficiency with a low power and weight profile per gigabit per second
