x Cisco Collaboration Architecture and Solutions

Ensure Interoperability, Introduce New Capabilities, and Break Down Boundaries to Improve
Collaboration
The way people work together is undergoing a significant transformation that requires a new
workspace model. This new workspace model will become a platform of communications and
collaboration capabilities that enables a user-centric experience delivered to any device at any
location. The new workspace will be inherently:
Mobile, so that users can use the workspace no matter where they go or when they go there
Social in nature, so that communication moves beyond one-to-one to many-to-many to
capture the power of social networking
Visual by design, so that the richness of video communications enables users to tell their
stories in the most personal way
Virtual, in that applications, data, and even operating systems can be securely and reliably
delivered from private or public clouds through intelligent networks that connect the many
devices people use.
As you implement the new workspace, the Cisco Collaboration Architecture helps ensure
interoperability between existing and new forms of communication and collaboration
technologies, further enabling both structured and impromptu business processes. Individual
components of the architecture can be implemented onsite, offered as hosted software-as-a-
service solutions, or deployed as a combination of the two. The Cisco Collaboration Architecture
comprises the following layers:
Network ServicesEnsure end-user quality of experience by providing the foundation for
network-enabled collaboration.
Medianet ServicesOptimize video and other forms of rich, interactive media.
Collaboration ServicesStreamline collaboration and break down application silos with
open, secure, reusable capabilities.
Client ServicesProvide programmatic access to collaboration services for custom
development and integration with traditional environments.
Collaboration ApplicationsStreamline workflow and optimize decision making with
software and hardware that facilitates robust communications.
DevicesProvide freedom and flexibility in accessing collaboration tools and services by
allowing teams to work in the manner that suits them best.
Security ServicesProtect all layers of the architecture from constantly evolving threats.
Management ServicesStreamline management across operations, administration,
maintenance, and provisioning.
Founded on the Cisco Collaboration Architecture, Cisco Collaboration solutions, along with
services from Cisco and our partners, can help you build more effective teams across corporate
boundaries, companies, and continents. You can deploy the solutions in any order, at a pace that
matches your business objectives.
With Cisco you will enjoy a new level of freedom and flexibility, while reducing cost and
complexity, in the way people connect, communicate, and collaborate.

Get the Data Center Business Advantage
The Cisco Data Center Business Advantage allows you to continue to use IT as a strategic
resource to pursue new opportunities and mitigate challenges to the business. Based on an
architectural approach that blends innovative technologies, solutions, services, and ecosystem
partnerships to strategically and holistically address business needs, Cisco Data Center Business
Advantage allows IT to have a direct and positive effect on the business. Together with our
ecosystem partners, we give businesses the flexibility to choose solutions that meet their
workload and application requirements, helping ensure predictable performance. The Cisco
Unified Fabric, Unified Computing, and Unified Network Services are the foundational pillars for
the Cisco Data Center Business Advantage. Solutions for consolidation, virtualization, automation,
and cloud are based on the technology innovations found in these pillars:
Cisco Unified FabricThe Cisco Unified Fabric provides the foundational connectivity to
link within and across data centers so resources are highly available and scalable wherever
and whenever they are needed. Cisco Unified Fabric unifies LAN and storage networks to
deliver converged, scalable, and intelligent solutions. Cisco Unified Fabric continues to extend

fabric to create a service platform to deliver services throughout the data center consistently
and uniformly. Cisco Unified Fabric includes Cisco Data Center Switching, Storage Networking,
Network Management, and Virtualized Networking products as well as Cisco Data Center
Interconnect solutions.
Cisco Unified ComputingThe Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) represents a
radical simplification of traditional architectures, dramatically reducing the number of devices
organizations must purchase, deploy, and maintain. Cisco UCS delivers end-to-end
optimization for virtualized environments while retaining the ability to support traditional OS
and application stacks in physical environments.
Cisco Unified Network ServicesThe Cisco Unified Network Services (Cisco UNS) brings
together an intelligent solution set that secures and optimizes the delivery of applications
across the distributed enterprise. Cisco UNS addresses the requirements of dynamic, on-
demand service delivery with consistently managed policy-based provisioning, bringing
integrated application delivery and security services to highly scalable, virtualized data
centers and cloud environments. Cisco UNS includes Cisco Application Delivery, WAN
Optimization, Data Center Security, and Network Analysis and Monitoring products in physical,
software, and virtualized form factors.
Cisco Professional ServicesCisco Services make networks, applications, and the people
who use them work better together. With a collaborative delivery methodology that joins the
forces of Cisco, our skilled network of partners, and our customers, we achieve the best results.

xiv Product Warranty Information

Product Warranty Information
All Cisco hardware and software products are covered for a minimum of 90 days. Some products
have longer coverage periods. Both hardware and software warranties commence from the date
of shipment to customer (and in case of resale by a Cisco reseller, commencing not more than 90
days after original shipment by Cisco). All Cisco warranties apply to the Customer or Original
Owner (the individual who purchased the product for their own use), also referred to as the End
User, and are not transferable.
Warranties provide limited liability for Cisco or its designated representative to repair and/or
replace defects in Cisco products. They are generally limited in both the duration and the
support they offer. Warranties generally do not include Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC)
support, software updates, or any of the additional benefits obtained under a support service
contract.
It is the responsibility of Cisco or Ciscos designated representative to repair and/or replace the
Cisco product within the time frame identified in the warranty card or license agreement that
accompanied the originally purchased Cisco product. Cisco reserves the right to refund the
purchase price as its exclusive warranty remedy.
Elements covered under a Cisco warranty are:
HardwareThis guarantees that the hardware will be free of defects in material and
workmanship under normal use, or it will be replaced by Cisco or Ciscos designated
representative.
SoftwareThis guarantees that the physical media are free from defects, or they will be
replaced by Cisco. Also, the warranty guarantees that the software generally conforms to the
published specifications for the product. Software is provided as is, and in no event does
Cisco warrant that the software is error-free or that customer will be able to operate the
software without problems or interruptions. Warranty does not include software updates.
Some Cisco Catalyst fixed switches are covered by the Cisco Catalyst OS software update
policy. Customers with Cisco Catalyst LAN Base and IP Base software licenses will be provided
with lifetime bug fixes and updates with minor enhancements as long as the original end user
continues to own or use the product or until Cisco announces the end of support for the product.
The software policy is not a part of warranty and is subject to change without notice.

WAN Routers
The Cisco 7600 Series Routers combine optical WAN and metropolitan-area
network (MAN) networking and high-volume Ethernet aggregation with a focus
on the delivery of high-touch services for the IP and Multiprotocol Label
Switching (MPLS) edge. These routers combine Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking
capabilities with a high-bandwidth, high-performance architecture, including
hardware-based forwarding of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), IPv4, and
IPv6. Cisco 7600 Series form factors include the Cisco 7603-S, 7604, 7606-S,
7609-S, and 7613 models. Each router can deliver DS-0 to OC-192 WAN and n x
10-Mbps Ethernet to n x 10-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity into service provider
edge, MAN, and enterprise networks for a variety of quad-play (data, voice, video, and mobile) and aggregation
solutions. All Cisco 7600 Series Routers comply with Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS) and have a
30-Mpps forwarding rate.
Ideal for Companies That Need These Features
Key Features and Benefits
Cisco 7600 Series Routers provide up to 30-Mpps central or up to 400-Mpps distributed forwarding with

The Cisco XR 12000 and 12000 Series Routers compose a portfolio of
intelligent routing solutions that scale from 2.5 to n x 10Gpbs capacity per
slot, facilitating carrier-class IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
networks and accelerating the evolution to IP next-generation networks.
Key Features and Benefits
The Cisco XR 12000 and 12000 Series Routers deliver up to 1.28-
Tbps switching capacity with wire-speed feature performance,
scalability, and graceful hardware and software upgrade paths.
These routers offer full forward compatibility for all line cards and the
portfolio of shared port adapters (SPAs) and SPA interface processors
(SIPs).
The routers scale to the edge, supporting backbone- or edge-optimized line cards in the same chassis.
The routers maximize the value of line-rate edge applications with 10-G uplinks.
IP quality of service (QoS) and congestion-control implementation facilitates real-time services such as
voice over IP (VoIP) and video. The distributed architecture and class-of-service features of the routers, such
as priority-based congestion control (Weighted Random Early Detection [WRED]) and dedicated Low
Latency Queuing (Modified Deficit Round Robin [MDRR]), along with virtual output queuing (Virtual Output
Queuing [VOQ]), eliminate head-of-line blocking (HOL) and maintain packet sequence integrity under all
conditions.
Non-service-affecting online insertion and removal (OIR) of components (including switch fabric cards) and
front accessibility reduce downtime and simplify maintenance.
Cisco Nonstop Forwarding (NSF) and Cisco Stateful Switchover (SSO) eliminate single points of failure, help
maintain system performance, and prevent service interruption; packet forwarding remains uninterrupted
before, during, and after a route-processor switchover.
Performance Route Processor-3 (PRP-3)PRP-3 is the premium route processor for the Cisco XR 12000
Series Router. This latest generation of Performance Route Processors (PRPs) vastly expands the
processing power for control plane and management plane applications, providing up to 300% improvement
over PRP-2 performance for such applications. The premium PRP-3 route processor greatly extends the
lifetime of the Cisco XR 12000 Series platform.
Service Module Daughter Card (SMDC)The new services card can be plugged on to the PRP-3 route
processor to support a comprehensive suite of CGv6 features, as well as a number of service applications

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series represents an exciting new paradigm in the world of
Carrier Ethernet transport with exceptional scalability, carrier-class reliability,
environmentally conscious design, incredible flexibility, and an enticing new price-
to-performance benchmark.
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series has four form factors: the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, the
Cisco ASR 9006 Router, the Cisco ASR 9922 Router, and the Cisco ASR 9000v
Router. Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are designed to provide true carrier-class
reliability using the Cisco IOS XR operating system, comprehensive system
redundancy, and a full complement of network resiliency schemes.
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series also offers service and application-level intelligence
focused on optimized video delivery and mobile aggregation. Finally, the Cisco
ASR 9000 Series is designed to simplify and enhance the operational and
deployment aspects of service-delivery networks.
Key Features and Benefits
Cisco IOS XR modular operating systemThe Cisco ASR 9000 Series leverages the Cisco IOS XR
operating system made famous by the highly successful Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System platform in core
deployments. The Cisco IOS XR operating system is purpose-built for distributed systems such as the
Cisco ASR 9000 Series, and uses a microkernel architecture to achieve true modularity. This modularity
provides the path to nonstop operations during software image upgrades or module changes, without
affecting normal platform operations.
Fully distributed systemThe Cisco ASR 9000 Series operates in a fully distributed fashion; that is, all
packet-forwarding decisions and actions take place on the individual line cards. These high-density Ethernet
line cards are equipped with a specialized network processor that provides a flexible programming
infrastructure with high-density hierarchical quality-of-service (H-QoS) services, security, and integrated
synchronous Ethernet. The distributed nature of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series improves resiliency by adding a
new dimension in scale for features such as bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) and Ethernet
operations, administration, and maintenance (E-OAM).
Operationally efficient and redundant hardwareThe Cisco ASR 9000 Series provides an infrastructure
where all common components, route switch processors (RSPs), switching fabric, fans, and power supplies,
are completely redundant. In addition, the platform is designed such that power is used on an as-needed
basis depending on system requirements. Power has been modularized for a true pay-as-you-grow
approach, reducing capital expenditures (CapEx) and again providing an operationally efficient deployment.
The Cisco ASR 9000 also provides a space-optimized small-platform option that uses the Series' common
components and retains a central office deployment-ready capability using a patent-pending side-to-back
airflow design.
Environmentally conscious designIn today's world of increasing awareness of the human impact on the
environment and the resultant fiscal implications, Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers bring a fresh new
conscious approach to product development. From optimal thermal design to the architecture of the power
infrastructure, from the placement of line card components to the pitch of each slot, every design aspect had
one goal in mind: reduced environmental impact through lowered power consumption and decreased
cooling requirements. Even the product packaging process was evaluated to minimize the use of packaging
material and thereby reduce waste at customer locations. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is an example of the
continued Cisco commitment to efficient and future-friendly product design.
Network virtualizationLeveraging Cisco's network virtualization or nV technology, the Cisco ASR 9000
System offers exceptional pay as you grow scale, carrier-class reliability, and simplified service provisioning.
The ASR 9000v sets the industry benchmark as a virtualized compact carrier-class converged access and
aggregation platform.
Integrated services capabilityThe Cisco ASR 9000 Series delivers flexible and highly scalable service
integration through the Integrated Service Module (ISM) allowing operational efficiency and faster time to
market. A Cisco ASR 9000 system populated with ISMs becomes a platform upon which new services and
applications can be layered over time and deployed much more quickly.

Visibility and Control (AVC), broadband aggregation, and Cisco Unified Border Element (also known as session
border controller), among others.
With the separation of the control and data planes in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router architecture, it enables
software redundancy (on the Cisco ASR 1001, 1002, and 1004 Routers), hardware redundancy (on the Cisco
ASR 1006 and ASR 1013 Routers), and distributed denial service of attack (DDoS) protection for all the models.
Additionally, the modular Cisco IOS XE Software that is introduced with the Cisco ASR 1000 Series facilitates In
Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) on the ASR 1006 and ASR 1013. I/O connectivity is provided through shared
port adapters (SPAs), which are housed in the SPA Interface Processor (SIP) card.
From a price-to-performance perspective, the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router solution fits well between the
Cisco 7200 and Cisco 7301 Series and the Cisco 7600 and Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches, thus
providing a comprehensive high-end and midrange routing portfolio.
All the following Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers offer L3VPN, route reflector, WAN
services aggregation, managed customer premises equipment (CPE), and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol access
concentrator (LAC) or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol network server (LNS).

The Cisco ASR 900 Series delivers on the Cisco Unified Ethernet Access
vision by having a single product family with one software and system
architecture to enable service providers to offer Ethernet transport
services across access and aggregation networks for business access,
mobile backhaul, residential, and other deployments.
The Cisco ASR 903 Router is Ciscos first product built specifically for the
pre-aggregation function in networks that target convergence of wireless
and wireline services. A natural extension to Ciscos service provider
access and aggregation portfolio, the Cisco ASR 903 Router extends the reach of the portfolio with a small-
footprint, redundant, modular, and industrial temperature-hardened device.
The Cisco ASR 903 Route Switch Processor (RSP) provides the central control and forwarding capabilities of
the router with rich clocking and management interfaces. I/O connectivity is provided through hot-swappable
Interface Module (IM) cards. The IM cards can deliver DS-0 to OC-12 TDM/ATM and n x 10-Mbps Ethernet to n x
10-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity into service provider access and aggregation networks at wire speeds of up
to 55 Gbps.
The Cisco ASR 903 Routers combine Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking capabilities with a high-bandwidth, high-
performance architecture, including hardware-based forwarding of Circuit Emulation, Ethernet Operations,
Administration and Maintenance (E-OAM) protocols, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Multiprotocol Label
Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP), IPv4, and IPv6.
The Cisco ASR 903 Router architecture, software redundancy and hardware redundancy provide a high-
availability platform. Additionally, the modular Cisco IOS XE Software facilitates In Service Software Upgrade
(ISSU).

Key Features and Benefits
The Cisco Catalyst 6500 high-end supervisor family uses Virtual Switching System (VSS) technology, built
on this supervisor engine, which facilitates easy-to-use, reliable, and scalable switching for enterprise core,
distribution, data center, and server access. VSS delivers a system performance of up to 1.44 Tbps by
unifying two physical switches into a single, logical entity, offering optimized network convergence, load
balancing, and manageability.
The Cisco Catalyst 6500 with Supervisor Engine 2T switching fabric unlocks 80 Gbps/slot on all
Cisco Catalyst 6500 E Series platforms, thereby providing high-density 1Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 40 Gbps
network connectivity on a single chassis. This system offers 720 Mpps distributed switching performance,
building the foundation for the Cisco Catalyst 650 Virtual Switching System 4T.
Cisco Catalyst 6500 with Virtual Switching Supervisor Engine 720-10GThe supervisor engine can be
used in standalone mode to deliver up to 48 Mpps of centralized and 450 Mpps of distributed switching
performance, building the foundation for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Virtual Switching System 1440.
Cisco IOS Software modularityThe Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series reduces planned and unplanned
downtime while boosting operational efficiency. Faults within modular subsystems are isolated from all
other processes, and can be restarted without losing state (stateful process restarts). While modular IOS

Key Features and Benefits
Cisco StackWise technologyOne IP address and one command-line interface (CLI) simplify management.
A 32-Gbps resilient architecture speeds convergence, and 1:N stack master redundancy and Layer 3 uplink
resilience as well as cross-stack Cisco EtherChannel technology and quality of service (QoS) increase
availability. Autoconfiguration and Cisco IOS Software version check and update accelerate deployment,
and hot add and delete of switches keep the stack running.
AvailabilityThese switches offer fault tolerance, load balancing, and rapid recovery; increased available
bandwidth with Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) by allowing traffic on redundant links; and sub-100-
millisecond convergence with Flexlink technology.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)The switches provide 370W PoE, which simplifies IP telephony, wireless, and
video-surveillance deployments; intelligent power-management features; and PoE combined with Fast
Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet.
Layer 3The switches support advanced routing protocols such as Open Shortest Path First (OPSF),
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Policy Based Routing (PBR) to increase network
scale; equal cost routing as well as multicast routing such as Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM); Virtual
Route Forwarding Lite (VRFLite) to secure traffic; and IPv6.
QoSTraffic shaping smooths a sudden traffic flow outburst without dropping packets; shaped Round
Robin guarantees bandwidth to mission-critical applications; and Scavenger Queuing protects against
worms overloading resources.
ManagementCisco Smartports quicken and simplify configuration of advanced Cisco Catalyst intelligent
capabilities. Express setup facilitates quick and easy setup through a Web interface, and resource templates
help tailor switch resources for the application.
SecurityDynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Snooping allows only trusted ports to relay
DHCP messages, eliminating rogue DHCP servers. Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) prevents the
propagation of costly worms and viruses; Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard prevent against
man-in-the-middle attacks; 802.1x and Identity-Based Network Services allow only authorized persons
on the network; and port security prevents MAC address flooding attacks.
WirelessThe Switch models with integrated wireless LAN (WLAN) controller delivers centralized security
policies, intrusion protection, RF management, QoS and Layer 3 fast secure roaming for WLANs. This WLAN
controller is part of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network.
Cisco EnergyWise helps reduce company-wide power consumption and carbon footprint.
Cisco limited lifetime warranty.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)The switches offer 1150W PoE, which simplifies IP telephony, wireless, and
video-surveillance deployments. It provides intelligent power-management features and PoE combined
with Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet. Each port may support up to 20W of power.
Layer 3Advanced routing protocols such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced Interior Gateway
Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Policy Based Routing (PBR) increase network scale. The switches provide
equal cost routing as well as multicast routing such as Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), Virtual Route
Forwarding Lite (VRFLite) to secure traffic, and IPv6.

Key Features and Benefits
AvailabilityThe Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series Switches offer fault tolerance, load balancing, and rapid
recovery; increased available bandwidth with Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) by allowing traffic on
redundant links; and sub-100-millisecond convergence with Flexlink technology.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)The switches provide 370W PoE, which simplifies IP telephony, wireless, and
video-surveillance deployments; intelligent power-management features; and PoE combined with Fast
Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet.
Layer 3The switches support advanced routing protocols such as Open Shortest Path First (OPSF),
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Policy Based Routing (PBR) to increase network
scale; equal cost routing as well as multicast routing such as Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM); Virtual
Route Forwarding Lite (VRFLite) to secure traffic; and IPv6.
QoSTraffic shaping smooths a sudden traffic flow outburst without dropping packets; shaped Round
Robin guarantees bandwidth to mission-critical applications; and Scavenger Queuing protects against
worms overloading resources.
ManagementCisco Smartports quicken and simplify configuration of advanced Cisco Catalyst intelligent
capabilities. Express setup facilitates quick and easy setup through a Web interface, and resource
templates help tailor switch resources for the application.
SecurityDynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Snooping allows only trusted ports to relay
DHCP messages, eliminating rogue DHCP servers. Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) prevents
the propagation of costly worms and viruses; Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard prevent
against man-in-the-middle attacks; 802.1x and Identity-Based Network Services allow only authorized
persons on the network; and port security prevents MAC address flooding attacks.

Service ProviderAggregation Switches
The Cisco ME 3800X Series Carrier Ethernet Switch Router is a
converged, full-featured aggregation platform designed specifically for
the mobile, business, and residential markets. With low power
consumption and high service scale, this 1-rack-unit (1RU) switch router
is optimized for small aggregation and remote point-of-presence (POP)
applications, making it a highly cost-effective option. The Cisco ME 3800X Series expands the Cisco Carrier
Ethernet aggregation portfolio while complementing the Cisco 7600 Series Routers and Cisco ASR 9000
Series Aggregation Services Routers by providing a rich and scalable feature set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN
services in a compact package.
Ideal for Companies That Need These Features
Key Features and Benefits
The Cisco ME 3800X Series helps service providers deliver advanced services for residential broadband,
mobile, and Metro Ethernet applications. The highlights of this aggregation platform are as follows:
Cisco Carrier Ethernet application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)Powered by Ciscos Carrier Ethernet
ASIC, designed specifically for the needs of service providers, the Cisco ME 3800X Series delivers
essential Carrier Ethernet technologies including: hierarchical QoS (H-QoS), Multiprotocol Label Switching
(MPLS), Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS), and Hierarchical Virtual Private LAN Services (H-VPLS). The
ASIC provides line-rate performance and enables advanced services including access control list (ACL)
and H-QoS without affecting performance. This Carrier Ethernet ASIC incorporates innovative traffic-
management capabilities while providing intelligent packet switching and routing operations.
Service richnessWith the Cisco ME 3800X Series, each service is assigned enhanced QoS and security
attributes. The Cisco ME 3800X Series accomplishes advanced per-traffic-class metering and offers
bidirectional packets and bytes statistics. The service offering is enhanced with rich operations,
administration, and management (OAM) functions including: Layer 2 Connectivity Fault Management (CFM),
IP service-level agreement (IP SLA) for Layer 3, and MPLS OAM.
Service scaleThe Cisco ME 3800X Series delivers unmatched service scalability in a 1RU footprint. With
support for 256,000 MAC addresses and 8000 bridge domains, this switch router delivers high
performance and high scale for point-to-point and multipoint VPN services. A total buffer size of 256 MB is
available to provide per-service advanced QoS capabilities. This amount of buffer is required when
stringent applications such as financial or video must be protected against the effect of 10- to 1-Gbps
speed mismatch. The quantity of statistical counters enables the Cisco ME 3800X Series to provide a high
level of service metering and monitoring throughout its range of scale.
High-performance hardwareThe Cisco ME 3800X Series provides two slots for hot-swappable and
redundant power supplies. Three fans are integrated into each power supply, providing fan redundancy.
High availability is also achieved on the Cisco ME 3800X Series through proactive diagnostic tools
including Generic On-Line Diagnostics (GOLD) and Onboard Failure Logging (OBFL). These tools help
service providers avoid potential problems before they occur and troubleshoot and diagnose after they are
identified.
Advanced SLAsService-aware QoS allows service providers to expand and differentiate their services
portfolio with highly advanced and differentiating SLAs. The hierarchical QoS capabilities of the Cisco ME
3800X Series scale to eight queues per service, three levels of scheduling, and buffer volumes capable of
accommodating todays most demanding wireline and wireless applications.
Mobile timing and synchronization servicesThe Cisco ME 3800X Series provides the timing services
required in todays converged access network to support mobile solutions, including Radio Access
Network (RAN) applications, and offers integrated support for the Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS)

optics, including coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) and dense wavelength-division
multiplexing (DWDM) optics.
Flexible network deployment optionsThe switch features highly scalable Layer 2 services with features
such as intelligent 802.1Q tunneling and Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling. The PFC3C daughter card enables in-
hardware Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) technologies for MPLS VPNs, and Ethernet over MPLS
(EoMPLS). For service offerings facing an increasing demand for IP address space, hardware-enabled IPv6
protocols provide a scalable and high-performance end-to-end IP service delivery.
Optimal performance and scalabilityThe Cisco ME 6524 offers high-performance CPU for Layer 2 and
Layer 3 protocol convergence and stability. The switch features scalable Layer 2 switching, IP routing, and
MPLS functions in hardware without affecting performance.
Increased service availabilityThe Cisco ME 6524 helps ensure service and network uptime with its
support of Cisco EtherChannel protocols, rapid convergence protocols such as IEEE 802.1w/802.1s and
Flexlink, and gateway load-balancing protocols. In order to minimize service outage due to a power supply

Key Features and Benefits
Cisco Carrier Ethernet ASICPowered by the Cisco Carrier Ethernet application-specific integrated circuit
(ASIC)designed specifically with service providers in mindthe Cisco ME 3600X Series delivers
essential Carrier Ethernet technologies, including: hierarchical quality of service (H-QoS), MPLS, VPLS, and
H-VPLS. This custom and advanced ASIC design provides uninterrupted line-rate performance while
delivering complex and taxing services such as access control list (ACL) and H-QoS. The Carrier Ethernet
ASIC integrates Cisco traffic-management innovation to deliver intelligent packet switching and routing
operations.
MPLS in the access layerThe Cisco ME 3600X Series extends MPLS into the access layer by enabling
service providers to initiate MPLS-based Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN services from within the access layer.
The Cisco ME 3600X Series gives service providers the ability to expand MPLS toward their network edge
to gain the advantages of a single unified MPLS control plane across their network.
Pay-as-you-grow investment modelThe use of licensing to activate features on the Cisco ME 3600X
Series allows service providers to customize and schedule their investment in access features for a time
when network growth and customer demand justify the investment. Unlike investments in the core and
edge, where the physical location of network assets has minimal effect on their accessibility and usage, the
return on investment (ROI) on an access element is heavily influenced by its location in the network and
proximity to customers. The ability to deploy the Cisco ME 3600X Series and later activate features as
demand and growth dictate, with little if any need for service calls, delivers highly measurable investment
protection. This allows flexible timing for migrating from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps, deploying MPLS services, and
boosting service capacity.
Advanced service-level agreementsService-aware quality of service (QoS) allows service providers to
expand and differentiate their services portfolio with highly advanced and differentiating SLAs. The H-QoS
capabilities of the Cisco ME 3600X Series scale to eight queues per service, three levels of scheduling, and
buffer volumes capable of accommodating todays most demanding wireline and wireless applications.
Mobile timing and synchronization servicesThe Cisco ME 3600X Series provides the timing services
required in todays converged access network to support mobile solutions, including Radio Access
Network (RAN) applications, and offers integrated support for the Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS)
interface. The Cisco ME 3600X Series also supports synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) and can source network
clocking information.
Operational efficiency for Carrier Ethernet access deploymentsThe Cisco ME 3600X Series features
important enhancements that help service providers simplify and facilitate the management of their
network, resulting in diminishing operational costs. This unique feature set enables deployment of the Cisco
ME 3600X Series in a variety of applications, including business service with 10 Gigabit Ethernet User
Network Interface (UNI) and Ethernet mobile backhaul. These features enhance performance awareness,
facilitate troubleshooting, and simplify service turn-up and restoration, ultimately reducing operational cost.
Dying gasp for power indicators and four external alarm inputs to detect changes in remote sites further
help service providers manage the health of network elements.
