Cisco Carrier Packet Transport Fabric 256G Fabric Card - Expansion module - 10 GigE - 4 ports - for Carrier Packet Transport 600
- Distributed forwarding and control planes for higher performance
- Modularized system components in both hardware and software, isolating failure and faults to subsystem and component
- Support for near zero packet loss on switchover
- Built-in redundancy in hardware components such as the route switch processor (RSP), switch fabric, control plane chassis control bus, and power supplies, thereby avoiding a single point of failure
- Hardware based Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) processing and control that provide transport SLA detection times
The Cisco CPT 200 Packet Transport Fabric (PTF) line card is a non-blocking switch fabric that delivers economical, scalable, highly available, and Packet Transport services through a Unified Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network layer. The PTF 256G non-blocking switch fabric interconnects all Packet Transport line cards over the backplane while providing scalability and high availability active-active architecture. The PTF enables the Cisco CPT 200 provide a robust MPLS-Transport Profile (TP) infrastructure to deliver scalable private line, business, residential, mobile backhaul, data center, and video services.
