The Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS) provides industry-leading performance,
advanced services intelligence, environmentally aware design, and system
longevity. Each model uses Cisco IOS XR Software, a unique self-healing,
distributed operating system.
Models include:
• Cisco CRS-3, powered by Cisco QuantumFlow Array, a chipset architecture
engineered in multiple dimensions of scale, services, and savings
• Cisco CRS-1, built on the Cisco Silicon Packet Processor (SPP)
Packet-based data communications are being replaced by video and rich media
crossing the IP Next-Generation Network (NGN) in multiple directions. As part of a
medianet, a media-aware Cisco IP NGN, Cisco CRS eases this strain on networks. It efficiently handles the
multidirectional traffic of network and data center cloud interactions.
The Cisco CRS:
• Delivers continuous operations, with high performance single-flow line-rate forwarding
• Scales easily from numerous single-chassis form factors to a massive multichassis system, up to 322 Tbps
• Provides industry-leading efficiency, requiring low power, cooling, and rack-space use for intelligent,
service-rich bandwidth capacity
Cisco CRS-3 models build on the CRS-1 models' backward and forward compatibility, protecting your existing
and future investments for decades to come.
The Cisco CRS includes two major elements, line card shelves and fabric shelves, combinations of which allow
the system to scale from four 40-Gbps or 140-Gbps slots to as many as 1152 40-Gbps or 140-Gbps slots in 72
line card shelves interconnected using eight fabric shelves, all operating as a single system.
• Cisco CRS 16-Slot Single-Shelf System—A single, 16-slot line card shelf with total switching capacity of
1.2 Tbps (40-Gbps/slot) or 4.48 Tbps (140-Gbps/slot); built from a 16-slot line card chassis featuring a
midplane design
• Cisco CRS 8-Slot Single-Shelf System—A single, 8-slot line card shelf with total switching capacity of
640 Gbps (40-Gbps/slot) or 2.24 Tbps (140-Gbps/slot); built from an 8-slot line card chassis featuring a
midplane design
• Cisco CRS 4-Slot Single-Shelf System—A single, 4-slot line-card shelf with total switching capacity of
320 Gbps (40-Gbps/slot) or 1.12 Tbps (140-Gbps/slot); built from a 4-slot line card chassis featuring a
midplane design
• Cisco CRS-1 Multishelf System—Two to 72 line card shelves and 1 to 8 fabric shelves with a total switching
capacity of up to 92 Tbps (40-Gbps/slot) or 322 Tbps (140-Gbps/slot); shelves are connected only to the
fabric-card shelves where stage 2 of the three-stage switching is performed
Key Features and Benefits
• Delivery of differentiated voice, video, and data with mobility and business services with better quality of
service (QoS) and performance
• Flexible functionality integrated in a single platform: rich services’ processing, high performance packet
routing, efficient label switching, optimized optical transport
• Multicast traffic replicated in the fabric for efficient broadcast video applications
• Optical Transport (ITU G.709) integration with IP-over-DWDM (IPoDWDM) technology
• Intelligence for Data-Center Cloud interaction with Network Positioning System (NPS) technology
• Rich IPv6 support including dual-stack, translation/tunneling techniques with Carrier-Grade IPv6 (CGv6)
• Wire-rate line card integrated application performance monitoring, including for video
• Hardware-accelerated Operations, Administration and Performance (OAM)
• Consolidation of multiple networks into a single platform using secure domain routers (SDRs) while
maintaining hardware and software isolation
• Dedicated 8-KB ingress and egress queues on the line cards for superior performance
• Isolation of different classes of services to deliver high-quality voice, video, and premium traffic
• Granular process-level In Service Software Upgrades (ISSUs)
• Non-service affecting online insertion and removal (OIR) of all components to reduce downtime
• Cisco Nonstop Forwarding (NSF) and Stateful Switchover (SSO) to eliminate single points of failure without
service interruption, forwarding continues before, during, and after a route-processor switchover
• In-service, non-disruptive scaling from a single chassis to multiple chassis
• Shared port adapters (SPAs) and SPA interface processors (SIPs) to preserve hardware investment across
Cisco platforms, including the Cisco 12000, 7600, and 7300 Series Routers
