INTRODUCING THE ROUTER 6000

1 FAMILY

Introduction	3Com 6000 Routers are next generation, high-performance edge routers. The
	Router 6040 is a 4-slot chassis. The Router 6080 is an 8-slot chassis. 3Com 6000
	Routers offer a robust hardware design, supporting Flexible Interface Cards (FICs),
	hot swappable Power Supply Unit (PSU), and 1+1 power backup. Following are
	the main features of 6000 Routers.

ATM and DSL Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is a simple, but highly efficient, broadband technology. A DSL achieves great data transmission capacity over existing copper wiring, by using digital code modulation technology. The ADSL cards available for 6000 Routers allow medium-to-small-sized enterprises to access the Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) equipment via Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and, then, the Internet.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) transmits, multiplexes, and switches information in cells. 6000 Routers provide 155Mbps cards supporting ATM Adaption Layer Type 5 (AAL5), and offers traffic services like Constant Bit Rate (CBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR). Such routers are well-suited to the high-speed data service and the transmission of large packets,
