To add to that: The "pre -B" chassis can be upgraded to CRS-X and use the new LCs, but the new cards will only run 200G (half the interfaces will be powered down). The -B chassis has been default for a while and is the only thing shipping today.
I know the launch was pretty heavily IoT washed. I can help if anyone needs clarifications. - Lane (CRS & NCS 6000 Technical Marketing) -----Original Message----- From: cisco-nsp [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Tinka Sent: Sunday, September 29, 2013 5:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [c-nsp] new Cisco's NCS> ISP flagship router On Friday, September 27, 2013 09:22:53 AM Saku Ytti wrote: > I would fully expect nPower to replace EZChip across the board and > Linux to replace QNX in every XR platform. > So probably in medium term ASR9k users can capitalize on the SW+HW > innovations that went into NCS. CRS-X (which is 400Gbps fabric and network processors) should start shipping December this year. So if anyone is thinking of buying new CRS's, by the "B" chassis, which is the CRS-X (enhanced) system. You can still run your 140Gbps (CRS-3) or 40Gbps (CRS-1) line cards and fabrics in the CRS-X so you only pay for what you need, and then look at the CRS-X line cards and fabrics in the future as you grow. I've been waiting for Cisco to make the move from QNX to Linx for IOS XR for a while now. With the way things are looking at Blackberry, doubtful we'll get 64-bit support in QNX.
