The Cisco® CRS-3 Carrier Routing System offers industry-leading performance, advanced services intelligence, environmentally conscious design, and system longevity. The Cisco CRS-3 is powered by the Cisco QuantumFlow Array - a chipset architecture based on multidimensional engineering and Cisco IOS® XR Software, a unique self-healing, distributed operating system.

Packet-based data communications are being replaced by video and rich media traversing the IP Next-Generation Network (NGN) in multiple directions, straining the architectural foundations of both public and private networks serving businesses and consumers. As part of the medianet, a media-aware Cisco IP NGN, the Cisco CRS-3 delivers continuous, always-on operations and scales easily from numerous single-chassis form factors to a massive multi-chassis system. Its design provides an industry-leading efficiency consuming lowest power, cooling and rack-space resources for an intelligent service-rich bandwidth capacity. The CRS-3 builds on the CRS-1 being backward and forward compatible, protecting existing and future investments for decades to come.

This data sheet provides detailed product specifications for the Cisco CRS-3 16-Slot Single-Shelf System (Figure 1). For more information about the Cisco CRS-3 and other available interfaces, visit: http://www.cisco.com/go/crs.

Figure 1. Cisco CRS-3 16-Slot Single-Shelf System

The Cisco CRS-3 16-Slot Single-Shelf System offers many advantages:

• Powered by QuantumFlow Array, the chipset architecture engineered for the Cisco CRS router family, which provides higher bandwidth than competing products, without any compromise on service performance. QuantumFlow Array is based on multidimensional engineering that comprises several functional components working in tandem throughout the platform.

• Powered by Cisco IOS XR Software, designed for always-on operation while scaling system capacity up to 322 Tbps with the multi-chassis architecture. Cisco IOS XR Software is the only fully modular, fully distributed internetwork operating system that uses a memory-protected, microkernel-based architecture and control-plane distribution that allows the system to scale.

• The system is completely compatible with existing and future components of the Cisco CRS Family. It reuses existing Cisco CRS-1 components such as the chassis, power, fan trays, and fiber interconnects. It is also compatible with Cisco CRS-1 components such as route processors and all 40-Gbps line cards.

• More than triples capacity from 1.28 Tbps to 4.48 Tbps per shelf on existing power, cooling, and rack-space profile, significantly reducing carbon footprint.

• Fully redundant carrier-class configuration supports in-service upgrades from 40 Gbps per slot to 140 Gbps per slot, and from a single-chassis to a multi-chassis system.

• Integrated technology includes IP/MPLS routing, IP over DWDM (IPoDWDM), network virtualization with Secure Domain Routers (SDRs), fabric multicast replication, fabric quality of service (QoS), NetFlow accounting, and Carrier-Grade IPv6 (CGv6) to provide outstanding quality of experience (QoE) at the lowest possible total cost of ownership (TCO).
