3 Agenda/Abstract Introduction building a forwarding path Platform Design & Building Blocks IOS XR Platforms Hardware Virtualized Modern demands such as cloud computing, mobility, and media delivery are driving greater bandwidth and service requirements into provider networks. To address this, Cisco offers a broad portfolio of systems for provider networks. These systems all run the IOS XR operating system, but have meaningful differences in how they are designed from a system/hardware standpoint. This presentation discusses system architectures for the NCS-6000, ASR-9000, NCS-5500, and other IOS XR platforms with a specific focus on the high-level design decisions. A significant part of the talk is around silicon selection (custom vs. merchant, for example) and the mechanical and logical design of linecards for these larger systems.

42 One serious thing before we go... I m grateful for the opportunity to be here and to talk about something (at least I think) is interesting. It s important to me personally that attendees find these presentations helpful and/or valuable. Certainly not everyone will enjoy every presentation -- but you guys spend a lot of money to come here and Cisco and the speakers do a lot of work to put on the event and the presentations. If the material is excellent, we ve done our jobs. If there s something we can do better, please let us know... We really do read the comments. ;-) Thanks for your time today.
