In order to meet the demands of these diverse roles, the Cisco
6400 uses its fully-featured Layer 2 and Layer 3 Cisco IOS base.
The Cisco 6400 can operate as a pure ATM switch, forwarding
cells transparently or terminating local ATM virtual circuits, as a
pure router, performing IP services or Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP) termination/PPP tunneling via Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol
(L2TP), or a combination of both.
Product Overview
The Cisco 6400 consists of a fault-tolerant ATM switching core
and multiple fault tolerant routing engines. The ATM switch,
based on Catalyst
®
8500 + Per-Flow Queuing (PFQ) technology,
provides the necessary ATM switching and traffic management
capabilities, while the router modules enable the service provider
to offer scalable Layer 3 services, described below. ATM
interfaces connect the Cisco 6400 to dial access servers,
DSLAMs, and Cisco IP DSL Switches, and ATM and packet
interfaces connect to the network core. The Cisco 6400 is
designed for use in high-availability environments such as
operating companies’ central offices (directly or via co-location),
ISP offices, and corporate premises. As such, it includes switch,
router, and line card redundancy, as well as 12-inch packaging
(key for central office deployment).
The Cisco 6400 provides the following benefits:
Session scalability—The Cisco 6400 represents a quantum leap
in session scalability, capable of supporting up to 96,000
subscriber sessions through one fully configured system. This
scalable and flexible approach enables service providers to
deliver secure PPP-based services to a much broader customer
base by leveraging any end user's hardware and system
configuration.
Modular design—The Cisco 6400 is a modular platform, with
capacity starting at 2000 subscribers in its entry level
configuration. The Cisco 6400 is capable of expanding to
96,000 subscribers quickly and cost-effectively as business
grows, all the while delivering industry leading performance
with the lowest cost per subscriber session in the industry.
Routing and VPN scalability—Using the Cisco 6400, service
providers can simultaneously route end-user traffic over secure,
independent pathways exceeding 1000 different domains or end
destinations, with an aggregate throughput of over 2.4 gigabit
per second forwarding capacity for handling even the most
bandwidth-intensive broadband traffic. Each domain represents
a VPN that may be assigned its own secure private path and own
QoS level, enabling service providers to generate revenue by
assigning QoS levels for each domain connection or service and
charging fees accordingly.
Flexible service architecture—The Cisco 6400 forms the basis
of a foundation architecture which supports the widest variety
of services in the industry. The Cisco 6400 supports a variety
of client architectures, including bridging, routing, PPP over
ATM (PPPoA), PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), and L2TP.
Supported network architectures include IP, IP over ATM,
Multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) VPNs andIPSec. All of
these services are supported by the full suite of Cisco IOS
routing protocols.
Reduction of provisioning costs—By terminating PPP sessions
and mapping them to as many as 1000 routing domains without
concern for overlapping private IP address spaces, the Cisco
6400 does away with the high provisioning costs and
complexities of a point-to-point network architecture.
Dynamic service selection—The Service Selection Gateway
(SSG) allows subscribers to dynamically select on-demand
services. As the gateway to New World services, the SSG
enables services such as videoconferencing, streaming video,
personalized Internet, business-grade Internet, shopping, and
gaming to create new revenue streams and help attract and
retain subscribers. The SSG allows each family member to
access multiple services simultaneously for the ultimate in
service utility, flexibility, and advertisement.
Captive Web-based service selection portals—The Service
Selection Dashboard (SSD) software works in conjunction with
SSG, allowing service providers to create customized network
portals for individual subscribers. Because the software is
Web-based, end users need no additional software other than
their own Web browser, and service providers incur no costs for
software royalties or support. Through the Web-based portals,
users can access their own personalized profile, on any
computer and operating system, and select any number of
simultaneous services by simply pointing and clicking. Access
to different networks, such as the Internet, corporate intranets,
gaming or other entertainment-based services is provided via an
authenticated log-on that is available to allusersconnectedfrom
homes or small business LANs.
Flexible accounting—The SSG lets service providers track and
bill individual user session on a per-service basis, or even on a
per-service, per- family-member basis, further enabling the
