Chapter 1: Features Overview
22 SSR 8000/8600 Getting Started Guide
Note: The ATM line card supports a various number of physical interfaces (PHY).
Different PHYs can be installed into the ATM line card. The PHY types supported
are: DS-3/T-3, E-3, T-1, E-1, OC-3c MMF, OC-3c SMF, and OC-3c UTP.
The T-Seri es line cards are considered the next generation line card family for the SSR
Smart Switch Routers. The T-Series enhancements are as follows:
• Local hardware routing table support for more than 200,000 routes on each module
• Jumbo frames support up to 64,000 bytes
• Port Rate Limiting and Aggregate Rate Limiting
• Weighted Fair Queuing
• Weighted Random Early Detection
An SSR with every slot filled with 4 MB line cards provides 500,000 flows on the SSR 8000
and 1,000,000 flows on the SSR 8600. An SSR with every slot filled with 16 MB line cards
provides 2,000,000 flows on the SSR 8000 and 4,000,000 flows on the SSR 8600.
10/100Base-TX Line Card
The 10/100Base-TX line card contains eight independent Ethernet ports. Each port senses
whether it is connected to a 10-Mbps segment or a 100-Mbps segment and automatically
configures itself as a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX port. Figure 9 shows the front panel of the
10/100Base-TX line card.
