The NetIron
XMR-series , which can be seen at booth #41050, delivers carrier-class
reliability and unprecedented scalability with forwarding performance to over
one billion packets per second (Bpps) in a single chassis and 3 billion
packets per second in a standard seven-foot equipment rack -- enough capacity
to transfer the entire contents of the U.

Redundant and Resilient Design
To ensure business continuity in the event of equipment failures, the
NetIron XMR-series routers are designed with no single point of system
failure. These features, together with the
self-healing attributes of the underlying Ethernet, IP and MPLS protocols help
to ensure maximum uptime for NetIron XMR networks.
Additionally , the NetIron XMR-series supports Weighted Random Early Detection
(WRED) to gracefully manage TCP flows in the event of output congestion.

Clos Switch Fabric with VOQ Design Delivers Non -blocking Performance,
Fault Tolerance, Low Latency and Quality of Service
At the heart of the NetIron XMR-series architecture is a single-stage,
adaptive self-routing Clos fabric with virtual output queuing (VOQ). Foundry's 8,100 customers include the world's
premier ISPs, Metro service providers , and enterprises including e-commerce

The NetIron XMR-series features a fully redundant
non-blocking 1. This density is three times that of
Cisco's high-end CRS-1 router platform in a single rack configuration. The NetIron XMR port savings over
the incumbent solutions are also dramatic. The NetIron XMR 4000 and NetIron XMR
8000 support 2+1 fabric redundancy and the NetIron XMR 16000 supports 3+1
fabric redundancy. To protect
against memory corruption, the NetIron XMR management modules use ECC SDRAM to
auto-detect and correct memory errors. This design ensures low
latency and wire-speed performance for all-size packets including jumbo
frames. Input to output packet
scheduling is managed by a distributed real-time scheduling mechanism that
maximizes switch efficiency and minimizes packet loss in the event of output
queue congestion. The fabric's distributed packet scheduling provides for a
more scalable solution than architectures that use centralized schedulers. The system
can support 500 BGP peers and 4 million BGP routes in its routing information
base. The NetIron 2404 also supports a
full set of IP routing and MPLS traffic engineering protocols including:
