24 ! M40e Router Major Hardware Components
The M40e router includes the host module that constructs routing tables, performs
system management functions, and generates the SONET/SDH clock signal for
SONET/SDH interfaces. The host module contains the Routing Engine and the
Miscellaneous Control Subsystem (MCS). The Routing Engine manages routing
protocols and maintains the routing tables. For a host module to function, both of
these components must be installed and operational.
The M40e router houses three types of Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs): one to
accommodate M20 and M40 Physical Interface Cards (PICs), and two to
accommodate hot-swappable M160 router PICs. The Type 1 FPCs for the M40e and
M160 routers are interchangeable.
PICs are available in supported media types, including Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM), Channelized DS3, E1, E3, T1, Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and IP services. For
more information about supported PICs and FPCs for each M-series router type, see
the appropriate PIC installation guide.
The M40e router Internet Processor II ASIC forwards packets at a throughput rate of
up to 40 Gigabits (Gbps). The ASIC technology provides such packet processing as
rate limiting, filtering, and IP services sampling.
