Carrier-Grade Services Engine (CGSE)
for the Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS) is an ideal platform for these services.
The Cisco CGSE is a single-slot module supported on all models of proven, high-end
Cisco carrier-class routing system, including the Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Router and
CRS-3 platform.

The Cisco CGSE for the Cisco CRS (Figure 1) is an integrated multi-CPU service module offering carrier-class
performance and scale in support of both the Cisco Carrier-Grade IPv6 (CGv6) Solution and a DDoS mitigation
solution. This data sheet provides detailed product specifications for the Cisco CGSE module and details about the
Cisco CGv6 Solution and the DDoS mitigation software available on the Cisco CGSE.
Product Overview
The Cisco CGv6 Solution, running on one or more Cisco CGSE modules inside of a Cisco CRS, can scale to tens
of millions of IP address translations with tens of gigabits of performance. It’s an effective way to address IPv4
of millions of IP address translations with tens of gigabits of performance. It’s an effective way to address IPv4
depletion and facilitate IPv6 transition. Several modules can be populated within a chassis for a high-performance
solution that can be deployed at places in the network where the best Cisco CGv6 coverage can be obtained.
The Cisco CGSE also supports the Arbor Peakflow SP Threat Management System (TMS) from Arbor Networks,
which is licensed by Cisco to provide DDoS mitigation capabilities on Cisco CRS platforms. It provides service
providers with the ability to offer:
●
Managed DDoS mitigation services to enterprise clients
●
Protection of the network backbone and services against attacks originating from both the outside and the
inside of the service provider network
The module supports a highly available architecture with line-rate accounting and logging of translation information.

XR Software on the module offers a flexible way to divert selected packets through the Cisco CGSE
while allowing global IPv4 and IPv6 packets to traverse the Cisco CRS forwarding infrastructure as usual.
