Carrier Core Routers

High-throughput routing for edge, core, and service provider deployments.

The CCR range is positioned for dense routing workloads, large BGP tables, high session counts, and low-latency forwarding.

CCR

Best for ISP edge, aggregation, PPPoE, and heavy routing policy use.

CPU profile Multi-core ARM and Tilera class routing focus
Ports 1G, 10G, 25G, 100G depending on model
Best fit Core routing, transit, and large customer edge
