continue to operate as the task is restarted independently.
The SmartEdge1200 allows the 10GE, 1GE, ATM OC-3, and ATM OC-12 cards that are
currently used in SE800 to be deployed in any of its slots with backwards compatibility.
This interoperability results in easy upgrade and re-use of current resources.
A HIGH-PERFORMANCE, FULL-FUNCTION MULTI-SERVICE EDGE ROUTER
The SmartEdge 1200 MSER unifies high-performance edge routing, Ethernet
aggregation, advanced subscriber management, and advanced services. The
SmartEdge1200 can be deployed in many advanced applications, e.g., as a major
component of an IMS infrastructure providing security, call control, and high speed
routing. The SmartEdge1200 provides the scalability that is required in large
networks. Its routing scales to 4 million IPv4 and 2 million IPv6 routes. For its size, the
SmartEdge1200 has the highest feature density with high availability that can provide
continuous network operation.
