Cisco 8800 Series

With up to 518.4 Tbps via 648 800G (2x 400GbE) ports, the Cisco 8800 Series delivers industry leading breakthrough density and efficiency with the extensive scale, buffering, and feature capabilities common to all the Cisco 8000 Series of routers. It includes four chassis - the 8804, 8808, 8812, and 8818 - to meet a broad set of network and facility requirements.

In addition to reducing per-port power relative to previous generations, the Cisco 8800 Series enables even greater savings by reducing the number of routers required in a given location - potentially removing entire layers from a network. This results in a significant reduction in the total number of router port and optics, one of the top contributors to network costs.

Cisco 8800 Series line cards

The Cisco 8800 Series modular platform supports six different 100GbE, 400GbE, and 800G line cards. The line cards utilize multiple Cisco Silicon One forwarding ASICs to achieve high performance and bandwidth with line rate forwarding. All ports on all six-line cards support different breakout options for 200 GbE, 100GbE, 50GbE, 40GbE, and 10GbE.
