Cisco 6400 Node Route Processor 2
with Shaped Virtual Circuit

The Node Route Processor 2 with Shaped Virtual Circuits (NRP-2SV) Module for the Cisco 6400 carrier-class broadband aggregator performs aggregation and termination of large numbers of broadband subscribers, while providing the increased bandwidth per subscriber critical to the introduction of new services. The Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV lets operating companies and service providers achieve a cost-effective, high-bandwidth solution for their subscribers, without having to sacrifice high-touch services.

Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV Module

Shown in Figure 1, the Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV is the engine that runs Layer 2.5 and Layer 3 integrated high-touch services for the Cisco 6400. The Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV may receive subscribers over its Gigabit Ethernet interface or over its ATM backplane via OC-3, OC-12, or DS3 interfaces on node line cards (NLCs). The Cisco 6400 Node Switch Processor (NSP) switches incoming virtual circuits or virtual paths to the appropriate Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV. The Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV aggregates and terminates the incoming virtual circuits, offering high-performance extended services based on the Cisco IOS^® Feature Set.

Features and Benefits

Table 1 gives the features and benefits of the Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV.

Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV Module Features Flexible Memory Options

Depending on the bandwidth and subscriber count, sufficient buffering must be available for Layer 3 queuing and processing requirements. The Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV Module implements buffering memory with ECC-protected SDRAM modules, giving service providers the flexibility to install the requirements for their subscriber needs and to upgrade their requirements when necessary. The Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV Module provides 256- and 512-MB ECC-protected SDRAM options. Table 2 gives part numbers for the Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV modules.

Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV Module Gigabit Ethernet Interface Options

The Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV Module supports GBIC modular technology to ensure that customers have maximum flexibility in configuring physical network interfaces in their Gigabit Ethernet networks. GBICs are changeable without powering down the card or the chassis ("hot swap"), and they provide an easy method of changing physical interfaces. Cisco currently supports two GBICs on the Cisco 6400 NRP-2SV (1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX/LH GBIC), supporting connectivity of up to 10 kilometers (over premium single-mode fiber or dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber). Table 3 lists the Gigabit Ethernet interface options.
