Series Router
Q. What are Cisco
and where are they deployed in the
network?
A. The Cisco 7600 Series is the industry's
only edge router that delivers robust, high
performance IP/MPLS features for a range
of service provider edge and enterprise
WAN/MAN applications. Coupled with the
broadest set of interfaces and innovative
adaptive network processing technology,
the Cisco 7600 leads the industry with
integrated Ethernet and private line
aggregation capabilities.
The Cisco 7600 Series is a natural evolution
for existing Cisco 7500 Series customers
with Cisco IOS
FlexWAN support for existing Cisco 7200/
7500 Series port adapters. The Cisco 7600
also offers multi-gigabit capacity per slot, a
range of form factors, and advanced
Optical Service Modules (OSM) for
high-performance service delivery. These
unique capabilities enable carriers and
enterprises alike to improve operational
efficiency at the network edge while
maximizing return on investment.
