About the White Paper:
This paper will introduce the reader to the design functionality of the Cisco 12000 GSR product line, with a focus on the Cisco 12016 GSR. In addition, Layer 3 protection switching can be designed to achieve much higher reliability than the individual network elements. This system approach includes the design principles of high availability, topology, peering, logical server placement, and interconnection features such as SONET/SDH automatic protection switching/MSP (APS/MSP), IP load-sharing across parallel networks paths, and fast restoration features in MPLS networks. |
