Cisco launched the CRS-1 in 2004. This solution with the multichassis approach was capable of reaching 92 terabits/s of core routing capacity. With the introduction of the CRS-3, Cisco is more than tripling capacity from 92Tbp/s to 322 terabits/s and utilizing a new set of chips. This extends the slot capacity of the CRS-1 from 40Gbp/s to 140Gbp/s. The CRS-3 is equipped with new interface cards; 1 port 100GE (at line rate) interface; 14 port 10GE (also line rate); and a 20 port oversubscribed card. Service cards include a modular services card (MSC) and a new forwarding processor card (FP). We believe this is the highest 10GE port density product in a single system in the industry.
