The Cisco 12404 Internet Router

DATA SHEET

At just 1/8 of a rack, the Cisco 12404 Internet Router is the smallest footprint 10G router in the industry, delivering the high bandwidth, reliability, and scalability required to 10G-enable the high-speed provider edge.

Product Overview

For service providers who want to deploy IP networks to meet customer demand while increasing proﬁtability, the Cisco 12000 Series offers the only portfolio of 10 Gbps systems with the capacity, performance, services, and operational efﬁciencies needed to build the most competitive IP networks. The Cisco 12404 Internet Router (Figure 1) extends the Cisco 12000 Series by 10G-enabling the high-speed provider edge and eliminating the services bandwidth barrier with the smallest footprint 10G router in the industry. The Cisco 12404 is ideal for service providers who require high-speed edge aggregation in small-to-medium points of presence (POPs), and for enterprise customers who need carrier-class scalability and reliability to deploy high-bandwidth applications to meet their revenue goals.

In addition to the Cisco 12000 Series high backbone and edge performance, distributed system architecture, guaranteed priority packet delivery, only proven investment protection and reduced network operations costs, the Cisco 12404 increases return on investment (ROI) by offering the highest switching capacity per rack unit (RU)—the most efﬁcient platform available today.

High-Speed Provider Edge Aggregation For small-to-medium-sized POPs and enterprises that need to offer services from space-constrained locations requiring carrier-class scalability and reliability, the Cisco 12404 delivers high-speed edge aggregation (Figure 2) through its support of the Cisco 12000 Series IP Services Engine (ISE). ISE combines the power of Cisco 12000 Series distributed system architecture with adaptive network processors to 10G-enable the high-speed edge with features such as virtual private networks (VPNs), MultiProtocol Label Switching Provider Edge (MPLS PE), quality of service (QoS), and trafﬁc shaping—all at line-rate. By providing full 10 Gbps uplinks and supporting all Cisco 12000 Series line cards, the Cisco 12404 can scale the network to meet operational requirements.

Key Features and Benefits • Highest switching capacity per rack unit (RU). The Cisco 12404 Internet Router is the smallest footprint 10G router in the industry. At 80 Gbps of switching capacity ina5RUconfiguration, the Cisco 12404 offers the highest revenue-generating networking and services capacity per RU of any platform available today. Its compact, low-power-consuming configuration enables service providers to scale any part of their network to 10 Gbps. • Lowest operations costs. Among 10G routers, the Cisco 12404 Internet Router is the most space and power-efficient platform, reducing operational expenses by an order of magnitude. The Cisco 12404 is designed with Cisco 12000 Series standard cost reduction features such as an integrated cable management system, flexible power configuration options, front maintenance accessibility, and Cisco 12000 Manager—an element management system that efficiently deploys, configures, and manages system resources. Reduction in operation costs leads to increased profitability and better ROI. • High performance and guaranteed priority packet delivery through a superior distributed architecture. Key components are distributed across line cards, ensuring higher performance and system stability. Distributed packet forwarding based on a simple memory-less crossbar switching matrix and individual line card forwarding engines with packet buffers deliver line-rate performance per slot. Multicast replication performed in the switch fabric supports broadcast and multicast video streaming

Page 3 of 9 services while nonperformance-impacting class-of-service (CoS) features on the line cards enable services that require minimal latency and jitter. By offering line-rate performance, reliable packet delivery, and CoS features, the Cisco 12404 Internet Router delivers both quantity and quality bandwidth. • Real time service delivery. Because of its high performance and reliable packet delivery, the Cisco 12404 supports real-time services such as voice over IP (VoIP) and video on demand (VoD). Key to delivering true multiservice networking is the Cisco MPLS feature suite that includes support for traffic engineering, VPNs, and connection services. The standards-based Cisco IP multicasting software has been deployed in networks for more than five years, bringing stability in this key technology area for real-time video distribution. • Line-card flexibility and investment protection. The Cisco 12404 Internet Router supports the Cisco 12000 Series industry-leading portfolio of line cards, including the 10 Gbps Cisco 12000 Series One-Port OC-192c/STM-64c and Four-Port OC-48c/STM-16c POS/SDH Line Cards. This broad range of interfaces and their interchangeability between systems guarantees that the Cisco 12404 can deliver needed interface technologies while offering investment protection for legacy line cards. • Carrier-class redundancy and compliance. The Cisco 12404 Internet Router supports redundant gigabit route processors (GRPs) and power supplies. Network-level redundancy is supported by Synchronous Optical Network automatic protection switching (SONET APS) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy multiservice switching path (SDH MSP). The Cisco 12404 is designed to meet Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) requirements to ensure compliance with industry safety regulations and standards. Combined with the Cisco 12000 Series distributed architecture that removes single points of failure and provides nonservice-impacting online insertion and removal (OIR) of line cards, Cisco 12404 customers can easily maintain service-level agreements (SLAs) by delivering high network availability. • Industry-recognized software. To enable the delivery of services, the Cisco 12404 Internet Router supports Cisco IOS® Software—a comprehensive software suite of features needed to support today’s networks and tomorrow’s value added services. The Cisco IOS Software suite is a robust, widely deployed product that offers a rich set of diagnostics and IP routing protocol features that helps network engineers and designers to architect complex routing protocol environments. Proven in customer networks and known by network engineers worldwide, Cisco IOS Software is a necessary component for building next generation networks. With its high switching capacity and eighth-rack configuration, the Cisco 12404 Internet Router is ideal for customer applications in which space, performance, power, and high-availability considerations are important.
