Keeping pace with the massive growth of IP traffic from visual networking and Web 2.0 collaboration tools requires new ways to optimize video and mobile content in the service provider infrastructure. Next-generation networks will combine Ethernet and IP Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) technologies to improve service transport efficiency and move network intelligence closer to customers to optimize personal video and mobile experiences. As an industry leader in Carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS, Cisco offers a comprehensive portfolio of edge networking solutions.

The Cisco edge networking portfolio, which includes the Cisco ASR 1000 and ASR 9000 Series Routers, Cisco 7600 and 12000 Series Routers, and Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers, extends the IP Next-Generation Network (NGN) Carrier Ethernet Design and delivers the following strategic benefits:

  • Carrier-class reliability
  • Massive capacity and scalability to prevent service slowdowns
  • Integral IPoDWDM capabilities
  • Non-stop video and mobile experiences
  • Enhanced Hierarchical Quality of Service (H-QoS)
  • One of the industry’s most reliable operating systems; Cisco IOS XR Software
  • Intuitive instrumentation and management that's "operator friendly"
  • Optimized infrastructure power efficiency

As a result, Cisco offers a way to deliver high performance, intelligent, and secure services that you can access using any technology. These offerings feature unique, purpose-built capabilities that are aimed at increasing your revenues and profitability.
