10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
The 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card is commonly referred to as the XGLC. The XGLC supports higher speed
connections to packet core equipment, increases effective throughput between the ASR 5000 and the packet core
network, and reduces the number of physical ports needed on the ASR 5000.
