The Cisco® Carrier Routing System (CRS) offers industry-leading performance, advanced services intelligence, environmentally conscious design, and system longevity. The Cisco CRS is powered by the Cisco QuantumFlow Array™, a chipset architecture based on multidimensional engineering and Cisco IOS® XR Software, a unique self-healing, distributed operating system.
Packet-based data communications are being replaced by video and interactive multimedia traversing the IP Next-Generation Network (NGN) in multiple directions, straining the architectural foundations of both public and private networks serving businesses and consumers. As part of the medianet, a media-aware Cisco IP NGN, the Cisco CRS delivers continuous, always-on operations and scales easily from numerous single-chassis form factors to a massive multichassis system. Its design provides an industry-leading efficiency, consuming very low power, cooling and rack-space resources for an intelligent and comprehensive service bandwidth capacity.
The Cisco CRS 8-Slot Single-Shelf System offers many advantages:
• The system is powered by Cisco QuantumFlow Array, the chipset architecture engineered for the Cisco CRS router family, which provides higher bandwidth than competing products, without any compromise on service performance. Cisco QuantumFlow Array is based on multidimensional engineering that comprises several functional components working in tandem throughout the platform.
• The system is powered by Cisco IOS XR Software, the only fully modular, fully distributed internetwork operating system that uses a memory-protected, microkernel-based architecture and control-plane distribution that allows the system to scale and provide always-on operation.
• The system is compatible with existing and future line cards of the Cisco CRS Family.
• The system provides up to 800 Gbps per slot capacity on existing power, cooling, and rack-space profile, significantly reducing its carbon footprint.
• The fully redundant carrier-class configuration supports in-service upgrades from 40 Gbps per slot to 400 Gbps per slot.
• Integrated technology includes IP/MPLS routing, IP over DWDM (IPoDWDM), network virtualization with Secure Domain Routers (SDRs), fabric multicast replication, fabric quality of service (QoS), NetFlow accounting, and Carrier-Grade IPv6 (CGv6) to provide an outstanding quality of experience (QoE) at the lowest possible total cost of ownership (TCO).
See Figure 1 for an illustration. There are two versions of the 8-slot system: Cisco CRS-8/S and CRS-8/S-B. This data sheet provides detailed product specification of the two versions. For more information about the Cisco CRS and other available interfaces, visit: http://www.cisco.com/go/crs.
