Eric Kuhnke Here it is, complete with OC-768 interface: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5763/index.html
It's a BFR allright. I wonder how much OC-768 linecards will go for; if it's consistent with 2OC192/POS-IR-SC some will be over a million list a pop. And you thought 12816 gear was pricey? Michel.

No. The BFR was the development name for Tony Li's last Cisco project and morphed into the GSR. The processor card in at least early GSRs had a BFR sticker on them. This box is the HFR which, according to the San Jose Mercury, is short for "Huge Fast Router". (Some reporter at the Merc probably still believes in the tooth fairy.) As with many things, if you have to ask how much it costs before deciding to order it, you can't afford it. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

Nitpick: It is not a sticker, but printed on the PCB of the GRP. -- Måns Nilsson Systems Specialist +46 70 681 7204 KTHNOC MN1334-RIPE

Quite like the head of a rhino on the LS1010 systemboard and some other cards too. I also took a picture of a BFR (mug): http://helenius.fi/cisco/ Pete

Pardon, but I need to set the record straight here... It was not by any stretch of the imagination 'my' project. There were dozens of folks that had far more involvement than I did. All I did was to help with getting things jump started. Tony
