Cisco 8200 Series Routers
The Cisco 8200 Series Routers utilizes Cisco’s new Router-on-Chip (RoC) model to deliver full routing
functionality with a single ASIC per router. The RoC architecture is distinguished from System-on-Chip (SoC)
switches by supporting large forwarding tables, deep buffers, more flexible packet operations, and enhanced
programmability.
The Cisco 8200 series routers presently comprises:
• Cisco 8201 Router – It provides 10.8 Tbps of network bandwidth with dramatically lower power
consumption than contemporary 10 Tbps systems. The Cisco 8201 Router is a fixed port, high density,
one rack unit form-factor router. Supported ports include 24x 400G QSFP56-DD and 12x 100G QSFP28.
For more details on ports and supported breakout options, see "Interfaces and Port Description, on page
