Cisco 8000 Series Performance Validation – DR230428E

High-performance networking systems have historically been divided into routing or switching classes, with distinct hardware and software. Over time, this distinction has become less pronounced. This convergence has occurred with the evolution of feature-rich switching chips and routing chips that balance traditional Service Provider (SP)–class capabilities with many benefits of switching Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs).

 

 Cisco 8000 Series Routers complete this journey by delivering provider-class routing functionality at unmatched density, performance, and power per bit. This enables Cisco 8000 Series Routers to be deployed into an unprecedented range of routing roles – all supported with a single ASIC architecture for seamless operations, deployment, and qualification.

 

  • All platforms were able to achieve line rate performance with bi-directional traffic:
  • On 8200 and 8800 Series Routers, activation of ingress & egress QoS, ingress & egress ACL, NetFlow, and uRPF features were possible on all ports. Routers were able to deliver line rate performance without packet loss.
  • On the 88xx and 82xx hardware with High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), FIB was programmed with up to 4M IPv4 routes or up to 3M IPv6 routes.
  • For 800G-capable routers, all 800G ports could be activated and used simultaneously without density penalty, leveraging full system capacity and bandwidth.
