Overview
Cisco
7600
Series
Internet Router
The Cisco 7600 Series Internet Router delivers high-performance wide- and
metropolitan-area network (WAN and MAN) capabilities with high-touch IP services
at the network edge. Now, service providers (SPs) and enterprises can “service
enable” their networks at optical speeds, providing competitive advantage and
service differentiation to the SP and high-speed connectivity and link usage
efficiency to the enterprise. The Cisco 7600 Series helps SPs break through service
and bandwidth barriers to increase new revenue and profits.

each chassis offers the ability to bring DS0 to OC-48 WAN connectivity, and 10-Mbps
Ethernet to 10-Gigabit Ethernet LAN connectivity to metropolitan aggregation, WAN edge
aggregation, and enterprise networking applications (see Tables 1 and 2).
