Cisco 12000 series routers Introduction

The Cisco 12000 Series routers make up a portfolio of intelligent routing solutions that scale from 2.5 Gbps/slot to 40 Gbps/slot capacity, enabling carrier-class IP/MPLS core and edge networks.

This portfolio uses advanced silicon and software technologies, delivering high standards of routing performance and quality of service capabilities, comprehensive high-availability support, ATM/Frame Relay transport, and an integrated core and edge feature set. With a fully upgradable modular switch fabric, the Cisco 12000 Series routers help provide investment protection and low total cost of ownership.

IP/MPLS applications for the Cisco 12000 Series include:

  • IP/MPLS core (long-haul and regional)
  • Peering
  • Optical private line aggregation (OC-48 to DS0)
  • ATM/Frame Relay transport services (over an IP/MPLS core)

Cisco introduces Cisco 12800 Routers-the industry's only field upgradeable solution that scales from 2.5Gbps/slot to 40G/slot capacity, doubling the capacity of the world's largest IP/MPLS networks without a forklift upgrade. Additional Cisco 12000 Series enhancements include: high density OC-192/STM-64 and OC-48/STM-16 interfaces, new 2.5G/slot chassis that can be software key upgraded to 10G/slot, an OC-3/STM-1 ATM interface, an OC-12/STM-4 channelized interface for high density DS1/E1 services, and a new performance route processor for increased route scalability and system availability.
