Cisco 7200 Series Routers
The Cisco 7200 Series Routers are the industry’s most widely deployed universal services aggregation platforms. Offering a modular 3-rack-unit (3RU) form factor, the 7200 series provides a rich set of capabilities, including high-density LAN/WAN connectivity and advanced modular services for voice, video, and data integration.
With the NPE-G2 Network Processing Engine, the Cisco 7200 scales up to 2 million packets per second, making it ideal for the enterprise edge and service provider environments. It supports up to 16,000 PPP sessions per chassis and is a premier choice for MPLS edge and high-performance IPsec VPN deployments (up to 5,000 tunnels). The platform's flexibility is further enhanced by its support for a vast range of port adapters and its ability to act as an IP-to-IP gateway, ensuring seamless interoperability between different signaling networks like H.323 and SIP.
