The Cisco® ASR 9000 Series 4-port Line Card and 8-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card deliver industry-leading high density, with line-rate 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports, to any slot of a Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router. These high-capacity line cards are designed to remove bandwidth bottlenecks in the network that are caused by a large increase in video-on-demand (VoD), IPTV, point-to-point video, Internet video, and cloud services traffic. A single 100 Gigabit Ethernet port can now replace large 10 Gigabit Ethernet link aggregation bundles to simplify network operations. Based on Cisco CPAK™ technology, this line card has flexible interfaces that support 100 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet modes, so it gives customers the flexibility to mix and match interface types on the same line card.

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series ISM is designed to deliver flexible and highly scalable service integration that allows operational efficiency, service flexibility, and faster time to market. The module offers the architectural advantages of integration with the routing system.

• Modular design: Cisco ASR 9000 Series ISMs can be added to the network as required. Additional modular and pluggable flash memory extensions allow easy replacement and upgrades to storage capacity for video applications.
• Power and space efficiency: Router integration provides significant power and space requirement reductions by fitting the video streamers into the line card factor.
• Carrier-grade standards compliance: The module is compliant to carrier-grade standards and offers a hardened design that fits rigid Service Providers Central Office deployment requirements.
