Router Overview

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series router is a multilayer Ethernet switching and aggregation platform. It is also

a label edge router (LER) that sits at the edge of a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network. The

router has links that extend outside the MPLS network. It provides access and aggregation services for

enterprise and service providers.

Features and Capabilities

A scalable, carrier-class distributed forwarding router, the router is designed for the redundancy, high

security and availability, packaging, power and other requirements needed by service providers.

The router aggregates triple play and Ethernet service traffic from Gigabit Ethernet devices, aggregating

these services to 10 Gigabit Ethernet IP, MPLS edge, or core.

The following sections describe the features and capabilities in detail:

• Cisco IOS XR Software, page 1-2

• Flexible Ethernet, page 1-3

• L2VPN, page 1-4
