7609-RSP720C-P Use Case
Service Provider Core Routing and Traffic Aggregation
In a tier-1 service provider network handling multi-terabit IP backbones, the Cisco 7609 Chassis,9-slot,RSP720-3C,PS delivers line-rate MPLS forwarding, resilient control-plane separation and non-stop forwarding. By deploying redundant RSP720-3C engines and hot-swappable power supplies, carriers achieve 99.999% uptime, seamless route convergence and granular QoS policing. The outcome: maximum SLA compliance, scalable traffic aggregation and lower total cost of ownership for mission-critical transit services.
Enterprise Data Center Interconnect and High-Speed Fabric
A global enterprise with multiple data centers leverages the Cisco 7609 Chassis,9-slot,RSP720-3C,PS as a DCI edge router to support 100GE spine-leaf fabrics and encrypted VXLAN tunnels. The RSP720-3C’s hardware-accelerated Cisco Express Forwarding and advanced BGP-EVPN capabilities enable sub-millisecond latency, deterministic east-west traffic and dynamic path optimization. Result: predictable application performance, simplified multi-site connectivity and rapid scale-out to meet seasonal or M&A-driven growth.
Campus Edge Aggregation with Advanced Security and QoS
In a multinational campus deployment requiring high port density and policy enforcement, the Cisco 7609 Chassis,9-slot,RSP720-3C,PS aggregates Gigabit and 10 Gigabit access switches at the network edge. Integrated RSP720-3C security features—including Control Plane Policing, TrustSec segmentation and real-time NetFlow—ensure traffic classification, DoS mitigation and service-aware QoS. Benefit: centralized policy management, consistent user experience for voice/video/data and streamlined compliance reporting.
