Cisco ME 3800X Series Carrier Ethernet Switch Router
The Cisco
®
ME 3800X Series Carrier Ethernet Switch Router is a converged, full-featured aggregation platform
purposely designed for the mobile, business, and residential markets. With low power consumption and high service
scale, this 1-rack-unit (1RU) switch router is optimized for small aggregation and remote point-of-presence (POP)
applications making it a highly cost effective option. The Cisco ME 3800X Series expands the Cisco Carrier Ethernet
aggregation portfolio while complementing the Cisco 7600 Series and ASR 9000 Series routers by providing a rich
and scalable feature set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN services in a compact package.
The Cisco ME 3800X Series (Figure 1) is a small footprint fixed-form-factor platform that comes in the following
configuration:

Key Applications
Broadband Aggregation
The Cisco ME 3800X Series supports broadband aggregation for delivering “any-play” services (voice, video, data,
and mobility). Designed to support thousands of subscribers, quality of service (QoS) on the Cisco ME 3800X Series
is capable of scaling to 32,000 queues per device. This high number of queues combined with a more granular QoS
algorithm (three-level hierarchical QoS) results in a greatly enhanced broadband user experience. This feature-rich
Layer 2 and Layer 3 switch router supports a variety of broadband applications including IPTV and video on demand
(VoD), enhancing and extending the Cisco IP NGN architecture.
Pre-Aggregation for Mobile Applications
Deployed as a pre-aggregation platform for mobile backhaul, the Cisco ME 3800X Series can aggregate Cisco MWR
2941 cell site routers and use MPLS as a transport for Radio Access Network (RAN) backhaul traffic. The Cisco ME
3800X Series offers timing services, allowing for mobile clocking synchronization from the core of the network toward
the RAN. The Cisco ME 3800X Series can receive clocking information into its Building Integrated Timing Supply
(BITS) interface. It supports synchronous Ethernet (SynchE) with Ethernet Synchronization Messaging Channel
(ESMC) to allow best clock source traceability..
Metro Ethernet Aggregation
The Cisco ME 3800X Series is built to meet service provider requirements for Carrier Ethernet aggregation. It is
optimized for the remote central office (CO) and smaller aggregation sites where a fully featured, small-footprint
aggregation platform is needed. The Cisco ME 3800X Series offers service flexibility and delivers Layer 2, IP, and
MPLS transport for advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN and multicast services.
