The Cisco 8000 Series Routers are a new family of high-performance routers optimized for service provider and web-scale environments. These routers utilize Cisco’s new Silicon One chipset along with the IOS XR operating system to provide industry-leading bandwidth, scale, and programmability.

The 8000 Series includes fixed chassis routers such as the 8200 Series as well as modular chassis routers like the 8800 Series. Key features include support for 100GbE, 400GbE, and 800GbE interfaces, deep buffers, large routing tables, and advanced traffic engineering capabilities. The modular 8800 Series can provide over half a terabit per second of forwarding capacity in a single chassis. The 8000 Series establishes new benchmarks for performance, density, and power efficiency.

The Cisco 8000 Series Routers provide a flexible and scalable routing foundation for next-generation networks. The combination of Cisco Silicon One and IOS XR allows service providers and web-scale companies to design converged IP infrastructures that can meet demands well into the future.
