The Cisco® 12000 Series of packet over SONET/SDH (POS) line cards deliver state-of-the-art technology to cost-effectively scale carrier-class IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) packet infrastructures to meet the needs of service providers around the world (Figures 1 and 2). The POS interfaces deliver high-performance, powerful features and a full range of interface types, speeds, and connectors, enabling deployment of high-speed core, peering, and edge applications. The POS line cards provide the ideal solution to meet and exceed the ever-growing demands for higher capacity and service availability.
CISCO ISE POS INTERFACES-DELIVERING ROBUST HIGH-SPEED EDGE FUNCTIONS
Service providers face the challenge of meeting customer demand by building scalable, feature-rich networks that can deliver value-added services such as private IP connectivity; integrated data, voice, and video services; and tiered service offerings-at all interface rates without compromising density or line-rate performance. The Cisco IP Services Engine (ISE) line cards provide the same powerful feature set as the standard POS line cards and also accommodate service provider requirements by providing an extensive set of service-enabling edge features at line rate such as packet classification, congestion avoidance, and low-latency queuing (LLQ).

Feature
Description
Performance
• Line-rate throughput for IP forwarding and MPLS switching
• Performance sustained in fully loaded system
• No performance drops as quality-of-service (QoS) or accounting features are enabled
Reliability and Availability
• Online insertion and removal (OIR) enabling insertion and removal of line cards without affecting traffic
• Mean time between failure (MTBF) more than 80,000 hours
• Cisco 12000 Manager for configuration, fault, and performance element management
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) MIBs:
· SONET/SDH MIB (RFC 2558)
· MIB-II
Statistics and Accounting
• Byte and packet counting per ingress port for IP and MPLS packets
• Byte and packet counting per ingress port for IP and MPLS type-of-service (ToS) bits
• Packet counting for Modified Deficit Round Robin (MDRR) and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) functions
• Packet and byte counting for committed-access-rate (CAR) feature
• Counting per ingress port for IP prefixes and Cisco Express Forwarding adjacencies
SONET/SDH Functions
• Error counts for B1, B2, and B3
• Threshold crossing alerts (TCAs), far end block error path (FEBE) for B1, B2, and B3 with threshold that can be set
• Loss of signal (LOS), loss of frame (LOF), line alarm indicator signal (LAIS), path alarm indicator signal (PAIS), loss of pointer (LOP), line remote defect indicator (LRDI), path remote defect indicator (PRDI), signal failure (SF), signal degrade (SD), line remote error indicator (line FEBE), and path remote error indicator (path FEBE)
• Performance monitoring: Error counts for B1, B2, and B3; TCAs; and FEBE for B1, B2, and B3 with threshold that can be set
• Synchronization
· Local (internal) or loop timed (recovered from network)
· Stratum 3 clock accuracy over full operating temperature
· Pointer activity monitoring
• Local (diagnostic) and line (network) loopback
• Payload mapping
· 1 + X43 self-synchronous scrambler
