Features and Benefits
Table 1 lists the features and benefits of the Cisco 7600 RSP 720.
Table 1. Features and Benefits of Cisco 7600 RSP 720
Features | Benefits |
Integrated 720-Gbps switch fabric | ● Offers Layer 2 forwarding rates of up to 30 million packets per second (Mpps) ● Provides bandwidth capacity of 40 Gbps per slot ● Allows additional slots for increased port density |
Hardware-based Cisco Express Forwarding | ● Offers Layer 3 (IP and MPLS) forwarding rates of 30 Mpps |
Faster CPU and added memory (over its predecessor Supervisor Engine 720) | ● Performance improvements include: ◦ Faster protocol convergence times ◦ Improved Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping times ◦ Improved router boot-up times ◦ Faster rates of establishing Dynamic ◦ Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) ◦ IP sessions, and traffic engineering |
High-density residential subscribers aggregation | ● Allows customers to support a combination of Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) and L3VPN features for use in a quadruple-play network |
