Introduction
The device is equipped with 12 expansion slots, with a maximum packet forwarding rate of 800Mpps. It supports routing protocols such as RIP/OSPF/BGP-4 and MPLS VPN function, complies with RFC2547bis standard, and achieves cross domain business integration. Adopting a distributed forwarding architecture, the main control board is designed with 1:1 redundancy and 2+2 redundancy for power supply, providing a switching capacity of 48.41Tbps, a typical power consumption of 4100W, and a working temperature range covering -5 ℃ to 55 ℃. Built in HQQoS mechanism, supporting service quality assurance technologies such as DiffServ/MPLS TE tunnels, compatible with IPv4/IPv6 dual stack protocols.
Parameters
| Feature | Parameter Description |
| Product Positioning | High end cluster router, used for national/provincial backbone network core and ultra large scale network core nodes. |
| Form | Distributed multi rack cluster system. The basic unit is an 8-slot line card machine frame, which is cascaded with multiple frames through cluster backboards or cluster line cards. |
| Frame Specifications | 21U high (mainframe), designed for standard cabinet installation. |
| System Architecture | Distributed forwarding, separated main control, switching network board, and business board. All key components (main control, switching network, power supply, fans) are fully redundant. |
| Single Shelf Exchange Capacity | ≥80 Tbps |
| Single Frame Packet Forwarding Rate | ≥ 30 Bpps (billions of packets per second). |
| Cluster Capability | Maximum support for multi frame clusters (such as combinations of 2+4, 4+8, etc., with the first digit representing the number of control frames and the last digit representing the number of line card frames). |
| The total capacity after clustering can reach hundreds of Tbps or even exceed 1Pbps, achieving smooth expansion. | |
| Master Control Unit | Independent Control Unit (SRU) with N+1 redundancy, responsible for overall routing calculation and management. |
| Exchange Network Board | Independent lossless switching network board (SFU), N+M redundancy (such as 4+1), providing huge intra rack and cluster interconnection bandwidth. |
| Power System | Redundant power module, supporting multiple inputs including High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC), AC, and DC, with N+M backup. |
| Cooling System | Multi fan tray, supporting front and rear ventilation, intelligent speed regulation. |
| Business Slot | The single rack provides 8 business slots (for installing various high-speed line cards). |
| Interface Type and Density | Supports the most comprehensive and high-speed interface cards in the industry, including: |
| High density 100GE/200GE/400GE interface board | |
| 2-port/4-port 800GE interface board (depending on software and hardware versions) | |
| 10GE/25GE/40GE interface board | |
| • POS/CPOS, E1 and other traditional interface boards | |
| Routing Protocol | Fully support large-scale network routing protocols: |
| IPv4/IPv6: Full range of IGP/EGP (OSPF, IS-IS, BGP), supporting massive routing table entries. | |
| • Multicast: Large scale multicast routing. | |
| MPLS/SR: Complete MPLS (L2/L3 VPN, TE) and Segment Routing (SR-MPLS, SRv6), supporting smooth evolution. | |
| Core Features | Telecom grade reliability: 99.999% availability, fully redundant main control/network board/power supply, NSR/NSF、GR、FRR。 |
| • Large capacity buffer: for Internet traffic model optimization, it is equipped with massive packet buffer to deal with sudden traffic. | |
| Refined QoS: Supports hierarchical HQQoS, enabling precise scheduling and management of massive users and businesses. | |
| Advanced security: integrates ACL, firewall, attack prevention, IPSec VPN and other functions. | |
| • Intelligence and Visualization: Supports real-time telemetry data collection, integrates with iMaster NCE, and achieves intelligent operation and optimization. | |
| Typical Applications | National level IP backbone network core node |
| • Core of inter provincial/metropolitan area networks for large telecom operators | |
| • Internet international exports, national hubs | |
| • Core/Interconnection Nodes (DCI) of Very Large Scale Cloud Service Providers (CSP) Data Centers | |
| National strategic engineering network hubs such as "East Calculation and West Calculation" |
