Anyone have any idea how much a fully configured CRS-3 would cost? Admittedly, my information on these topics comes from NPR these days. :-)
They said it costs ~US$90k, and that AT&T was in trails.
Somehow, I'm skeptical (not of the trials, but $90k for a fully configured CRS-3), but if it was on NPR it must be true... :-)
The press release at http://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/2010/prod_030910.html states that the pricing for the CRS-3 STARTS AT $90K...

Is that the cost for a nameplate you can stick on an empty rack with dark glass so you can fool people visiting your datacenter? I've put together BoMs for the CRS-1, and the pricing was at least an order of magnitude higher. Linecards are interesting. We get a 100Gb card, we get a linerate 14-port 10Gb card, but apparently there's still only a single port OC-768 40Gb card. Bob
Cisco and linerate...if it would be a Juniper I could say OK, on a Cisco, first see then believe. Also, seeing CRS-1's, is the '3' in CRS-3 the multiplier or magnitude of problems to be expected compared to its 'little' buggy sister.. ? :) -----Original Message----- From: Bob Snyder [mailto:rsnyder@toontown.erial.nj.us] Sent: Wednesday, 10 March, 2010 17:30 To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: CRS-3 On Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 2:31 AM, Gregory Hicks <ghicks@hicks-net.net> wrote:

JUNIPER Networks did a press note about the new T-1600 components: http://www.juniper.net/us/en/company/press-center/press-releases/2010/pr_201... And now CISCO with the new components for the CRS-1 ... to increase it to "new" CRS-3. Both companies looks like want to reach 4 Tbps capacity with their CORE Routers. I think JUNIPER have been tested 100 Gbps ethernet line card for so long. http://www.juniper.net/us/en/company/press-center/press-releases/2009/pr_200... JUNIPER has talked about 5 Watts/Gigabit. CISCO said something about 3 Watts/Gigabit. Big and good fight. Best for all of us.

T1600 - 250 Gbps full duplex / slot CRS-3 - 120 Gbps full duplex / slot CISCO is MUCH better using marketing than JUNIPER : ) Both companies looks like want to reach 4 Tbps capacity with their CORE Routers.

There has been claims that volume for OC-768 is low so no major effort has been seen to reduce OC-768 MSA size, so apparently the parts needed for multiple OC-768 ports can't be physically fitted in one PLIM. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
