    Product Description
    4-Port 10GE Extended Line Card, requires XFPs
    Cisco IOS XR Software support
    Modular software design: Cisco IOS XR Software provides routing-system scalability, high availability, service isolation, and manageability for mission-critical next-generation networks.
    Cisco IOS XR infrastructure protection
    Microkernel architecture keeps only critical functions in the kernel so failures in applications, file systems, or device drivers do not cause widespread disruption.
    Process and thread protection
    Each process and thread runs in its own protected memory space with secure, version-controlled APIs between processes to limit impact of failures.
    Process restart
    Supports manual or automatic restart of critical control-plane processes without rebooting the OS, reducing service disruption and improving availability.
    State checkpointing
    Maintains memory and critical operating state across process restarts so routing adjacencies and signaling state are preserved during RSP switchover.
    Ethernet virtual connections (EVCs)
    Supports EVC-based Ethernet services for specific service types or end users, compatible with MPLS-based L2VPNs and native Ethernet switching.
    Flexible VLAN classification
    Supports single-tagged VLANs, double-tagged VLANs (QinQ and 802.1ad), contiguous VLAN ranges, and noncontiguous VLAN lists into Ethernet Flow Points (EFPs).
    IEEE bridging support
    Native bridging based on IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.1ad, IEEE 802.1ah, and QinQ VLAN encapsulation mechanisms.
    IEEE 802.1s MST
    Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) extends 802.1w RSTP to multiple spanning trees for rapid convergence and load balancing.
    MST Access Gateway
    Provides a resilient, fast-convergence mechanism for aggregation and connection to Ethernet-based access rings.
    L2VPN services - VPLS
    Virtual Private LAN Services connect multiple sites in a single bridged domain over IP/MPLS with an Ethernet interface to customers, decoupling service bandwidth from physical interfaces.
    L2VPN services - HVPLS
    Hierarchical VPLS adds edge hierarchy for scalability; supports QinQ access and Ethernet over MPLS (pseudowire) access options.
    VPWS with EoMPLS
    Virtual Private Wire Service with Ethernet over MPLS transports Ethernet frames over an MPLS core using pseudowires at EFP or full-port level.
    Pseudowire redundancy
    Supports backup pseudowires that protect primary pseudowires in case of failure.
    G.8032 Ethernet ring protection
    Provides sub-50 ms protection for Ethernet traffic in a ring topology, compliant with ITU-T G.8032 v2 on Cisco ASR 9000 Series.
    Multisegment pseudowire stitching
    Interworks two pseudowires to form a cross-connect for multisegment pseudowire deployments.
    IPv4 Multicast
    Supports IGMPv2 and IGMPv3, PIM-SSM, PIM-SM, PIM SSM Mapping, MSDP, Multicast VPN, and Anycast RP for scalable multicast routing.
    IGMP snooping
    IGMP v2/v3 snooping on VLAN or pseudowire level summarizes joins into a single upstream join, sending only watched channels in broadband deployments.
    Ethernet OAM (IEEE 802.3ah)
    Provides physical link OAM to monitor link health, assist in fault isolation, and support rapid link-failure detection with 802.1ag.
    EOAM (IEEE 802.1ag E-CFM)
    Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management offers protocols and procedures to discover and verify paths through 802.1 bridges and LANs.
    EOAM (ITU-T Y.1731)
    Provides Fault Management for Ethernet verification and troubleshooting and Performance Monitoring for delay, latency, and loss to support SLAs.
    Ethernet LMI (E-LMI)
    Runs on the PE-to-CE UNI link and informs CE devices of connectivity status and configuration of available Ethernet services.
    MPLS OAM
    Supports LSP ping, LSP traceroute, and VCCV for label-switched path operations, administration, and maintenance.
    IPv4 routing
    Supports BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, RIP, static routing, IPv4 Multicast, Routing Policy Language (RPL), HSRP, and VRRP features.
    IPv6 routing
    Supports IPv6 services including OSPFv3, IS-IS, VRRPv6, DHCPv6 relay, and static IPv6 routing.
    BGP Prefix Independent Convergence
    BGP PIC enables fast convergence of BGP routes using Cisco IOS XR fast-convergence mechanisms.
    MPLS L3VPN
    Supports scalable IPv4 Layer 3 VPN backbone services for IP VPNs used to deploy value-added applications, data hosting, e-commerce, and telephony services.
    Carrier supporting carrier (CSC)
    Enables an MPLS VPN provider to connect isolated sites through another backbone while maintaining private address space, per IETF RFC 4364.
    Selective VRF Download
    Downloads VRF FIB entries only to line cards with VRF membership, increasing chassis FIB scale without unnecessary entries.
    6PE and 6VPE
    Introduces IPv6 from the edge over an IPv4/MPLS backbone without IPv6 addressing restrictions, protecting existing IPv4 core and minimizing risk and cost.
    MPLS Traffic Engineering
    Supports TE-FRR, RSVP, LDP, and Targeted LDP for MPLS traffic engineering.
    MPLS TE Preferred Path
    Maps pseudowires to specific MPLS TE tunnels by cross-connecting attachment circuits to TE tunnel interfaces instead of remote PE IP addresses.
    MPLS TE Auto-Bandwidth
    Automatically adjusts bandwidth allocation for TE tunnels based on measured traffic load.
    Point-to-Multipoint TE
    P2MP TE forwards MPLS traffic from one source to multiple destinations with explicit path control and extends FRR protection to P2MP TE sub-LSPs.
    MPLS TE-FRR
    Provides Layer 3 protection switching and temporary rerouting around failed links, nodes, or paths for MPLS LSPs.
    Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
    BFD offers fast forwarding-path failure detection across media types, encapsulations, topologies, and routing protocols.
    802.3ad Link Aggregation
    Supports link aggregation bundles to add resiliency and load-balance traffic across multiple member links.
    Multichassis LAG (MC-LAG)
    Provides standards-based 802.3ad bundles to a pair of Cisco ASR 9000 routers that appear as a single device, enabling rapid restoration for L2VPN, L3VPN, mobile aggregation, and edge services.
    Cisco IOS XR manageability
    Includes modular CLI, SNMP, Cisco Discovery Protocol, LLDP, and native XML interfaces for standards-based management.
    Smart Call Home
    Proactive support that identifies and reports problems before they affect services, reducing troubleshooting time and improving resolution.
    Cisco Active Network Abstraction
    Cisco ANA is a vendor-neutral framework that discovers network components, tracks status in near real time, and aggregates VNEs into a virtual network for OSS integration.
    ANA benefits
    Offers simplified OSS integration, a common infrastructure for managing resources, and consistent procedures and interfaces across network elements.
    Security - Cisco IOS XR
    Provides ACLs, control-plane protection, routing authentication, AAA and TACACS+, SSH, SNMPv3, and Routing Policy Language support.
    Layer 2 and Layer 3 ACLs
    Layer 2 ACLs filter packets under an EVC by MAC address; Layer 3 ACLs match traffic by IPv4 packet attributes.
    Additional security features
