Cisco 8000 Series routers combine the Cisco revolutionary Silicon One application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), IOS XR7 software, and a new platform design approach to deliver a breakthrough in high-performance routers. The 8000 Series are highly scalable, deep-buffered, 400G-optimized routers in an industry-leading, rack-mountable modular system that is capable of 172.8 Tbps of full duplex, line rate forwarding. Cisco innovations across silicon, optics, software, and systems facilitate high performance, high bandwidth, and low-power consumption without sacrificing any of the features service providers require.
