Packet-based data communications are being replaced by video and rich media transported on the IP Next-
Generation Internet and his new traffic strains the architectural foundations of both public and private networks
serving businesses and consumers. As part of the medianet, a media-aware Cisco Next Generation Internet, the
Cisco CRS-X delivers highly reliable operations and scales easily from single-chassis form factors to a massive
multichassis system. Its design offers industry-leading efficiency in power consumption, cooling, and rack-space
resources, while providing intelligent service-rich bandwidth capacity. The Cisco CRS-X, which supports 400-Gbps
line rates, is backward and forward compatible with the Cisco CRS-1 and the Cisco CRS-3, helping to protect
existing and future investments.
The Cisco CRS-X Modular Services Card (Figure 1) offers the following advanced features and benefits:
●
400-Gbps line-rate throughput per slot, increasing the Cisco CRS capacity to 12.8 Tbps in a single chassis
●
Advanced forwarding ASICs to support 100-Gbps single-flow traffic processing with optimized power
consumption
●
Superior investment protection that maintains the existing Cisco CRS architecture, making it compatible
with existing Cisco CRS-1 and Cisco CRS-3 line cards and physical layer interface modules (PLIMs)
●
Transparent and In-service migration from an existing Cisco CRS-1 or Cisco CRS-3
●
Space, cost, and power savings with 100-Gbps Cisco CPAK
™
optics
●
Flexibility through Cisco AnyPort Technology, which introduces 100-Gbps to 40-Gbps and 40-Gbps to
10-Gbps breakout options
