IPv4/IPv6/MPLS Multi-Service
Backbone Routers
Today’s service providers face market
challenges that require a new breed
of solutions to ensure successful and
profitable operation. Service providers
operate in an environment of fierce
competition that continues to drive service
pricing down. A smooth introduction of new,
reliable, and scalable services is difficult
for many service providers; yet, it is crucial
to expanding the subscriber base and
improving subscriber retention. Adding to
these challenges is an exponential growth
trend in Internet traffic that continues to
erode network capacities. Furthermore,
ensuring and increasing profitability,
which require controlling Capital
Expenditures (CapEx) and Operational
Expenditures (OpEx), are key goals for
any service provider.
Brocade® NetIron® XMR Series routers are
built to address all these hurdles by offering
state-of-the-art design in hardware and
software. Based on a superior terabit-scale
architecture that includes cutting-edge, fifth-
generation network processors, this series
comprises the industry’s most powerful,
high-density IPv4/ IPv6/MPLS multi-service
routers. To enable the deployment of
scalable, high-value, and profitable services,
the NetIron XMR Series offers highly
versatile, cost-efficient solutions for Internet
routing, inter-Metro backbones, largescale multi-service backbones, and carrier
transport networks.
The NetIron XMR Series includes the 4-slot
NetIron XMR 4000, the 8-slot NetIron XMR
8000, the 16-slot NetIron XMR 16000, and
the 32-slot NetIron XMR 32000. The series
offers industry-leading port capacity and
density for both Carrier Ethernet and Packet
