Cisco 8000 Series routers
High-performance networking systems have historically been divided into routing or switching classes, with distinct hardware and software. Over time, this distinction has become less pronounced. This convergence has occurred with the evolution of feature-rich switching chips and routing chips that balance traditional Service Provider (SP)–class capabilities with many benefits of switching Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs).
Cisco®8000 Series routers complete this journey. They deliver provider-class routing functionality at unmatched density, performance, and power. This enables Cisco 8000 Series to be deployed into an unprecedented range of routing roles – all supported with a single ASIC architecture and operating system – thus streamlining qualification, deployment, and operations.
The Cisco 8000 Series combines the revolutionary Cisco Silicon One™, IOS XR®software, and a set of clean sheet chassis to deliver a breakthrough in high-performance routers. The 8000 Series comprises a full range of feature-rich, highly scalable, deep-buffered, on-chip High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and 400 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)-optimized routers ranging from 10.8 to 25.6 Tbps in a 1 RU footprint. It is also available in an industry leading, rack-mountable modular system capable of 518.4 Tbps of full-duplex, line rate forwarding.
The Cisco 8000 Series includes two distinct router architectures that both utilize the Cisco Silicon One ASICs. The 8800 Series provides the highest bandwidth via modular chassis with a redundant control plane and switch fabric. The 8800 Series includes the Cisco 8804, 8808, 8812, and 8818. These chassis deliver up to 28.8 Tbps per line card via 100, 400, and 2x400GbE (800G) ports.
The Cisco 8100 and 8200 Series utilize Cisco’s Router-on-Chip (RoC) architecture to deliver full routing functionality with a single ASIC per router. Both support the full routing feature set, but the 8200 has deep buffers and expanded forwarding tables, while the 8100 Series is targeted for data center applications with lower buffering and forwarding table scale requirements.
The RoC architecture is distinguished from System-on-Chip (SoC) switches by supporting large forwarding tables, deep buffers, more flexible packet operations, and enhanced programmability. The Cisco 8100 and 8200 provide up to 25.6 Tbps of network bandwidth with lower power than similar systems.

The Cisco 8200 Series is designed for roles requiring higher scale and external deep buffers. To achieve similar routed bandwidth and scale, other industry routers require multiple devices such as off-chip Ternary Content-Addressable Memory (TCAMs), fabric ASICs, and multiple network processors. However, the Cisco 8200 Series routers use a simple single ASIC (with HBM) design without the need for off-chip TCAM.
The 8200 Series 1 and 2 RU footprints allow them to be deployed in locations that traditionally required much larger chassis and special accommodations for power and cooling. Provisioning up to 12.8 Tbps in the most efficient 100G/400G-generation chassis requires over seven times the space. The 8200 Series provides tens of milliseconds of buffering and supports large forwarding tables. The ability to deploy a full-featured router into power- and space-constrained facilities such as colocation, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), Internet
Exchange Points (IXPs), or older central office sites opens new possibilities for network designs. The 8200 Series with its large buffer and scale capacity is most suitable for roles such as aggregation, peering, core, and Data Center Interconnects (DCIs).
The Cisco 8200 Series offers five different variants: Cisco 8201 with 24 ports of 400GbE and 12 ports of 100GbE in a compact 1RU form factor, Cisco 8202 with 60 ports of 100GbE and 12 ports of 400GbE in a 2RU from factor, Cisco 8201-24H8FH with 24 ports of 100GbE and 8 ports of 400GbE in a compact 1RU form factor, Cisco 8201-32FH with 32 ports of 400GbE in a compact 1RU form factor and Cisco 8202-32FH-M with 32 ports of 400GbE with MACsec in a 2RU form factor.
The 8200 Series supports both IOS XR software and the open-source network operating system SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud).
