CISCO AS5850 DISTRIBUTED PROCESSOR ARCHITECTURE
The Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway provides all the hardware components that service providers have come to expect from carrier-class
products and all the routing features that have been the hallmark of Cisco routing products.
The Cisco AS5850 architecture distributes processing between multiple Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) processors for
improved performance and availability. Chassis control and signaling traffic are handled by one or two Broadcom SB1250-based ERSCs,
configurable for redundant or load-sharing operations when two are installed. Bearer traffic is hardware forwarded through redundant or
load-sharing 5-Gbps non-blocking switch fabrics. The routing and switching technology used on the ERSC combines the best features
of the highly successful Cisco 7206 Series Routers and Cisco Catalyst
®
8500 Series Multiservice Switch Routers. The feature boards
each contain a R7000, which is used to run distributed Cisco IOS Software tasks such as IVR, virtual profiles, PPP processing, and dialer
profiles.
