• New form factor and higher performance RSP—This high performance RSP has aggregate switching
capacity of 480 Gbps in oversubscribed mode.
• The backplane and the RSP together have the provision to support higher density 10GE modules like
8x10GE and 100GE modules.
• Airflow baffle to allow a system to redirect air and allow front-to-back airflow for cooling.
• Flexible I/O configurations through 16 hot pluggable interface modules (single width). For example,
with RSP3-400-W in oversubscribed mode:
• 16x10G + 2x100G + 80x1G
• 48x10G
• Metro ENET switching features along with TDM pseudowire support.
• Network processor provides flexibility to off-load control plane CPU processing for select OAM and
management packets (for example, CCM, BFD, LBM).
• Flexible ENET processing through table-driven packet processing engines.
• On-line insertion or removal (OIR) of all FRUs except GPS module, while the system is operational.
• Power supply (1+1)—Support for both, AC and DC power supplies. A single power supply can support
full system load. If there are two PSUs in the system, they work in a load-sharing mode.
• Fully redundant system with redundant combined control plane and data plane (excluding interfaces),
timing support, power supplies, and fans.
• Active and standby support of redundant control plane and data plane, and timing
• Intrachassis IOS redundancy (requires both RSPs).
• Stateful-switchover (50 ms) between active and standby RSPs (for protocols that are supported by IOS).
• In-service software upgrade (ISSU) supported with same RSPs.
• Timing support for receipt and distribution of network frequency and time including SyncE, BITS,
1PPS/10MHz I/O, IEEE 1588-2008, and NTP.
• Support for ENET OAM.
• T1/E1 line protection compliant with NEBS GR-1089.
