Key Benefits and Selling Points  
RS 16000 High Density  
Gigabit Ethernet Router  
supporting Riverstones Metro-optimized  
MPLS implementation, the RS 16000 serves  
as an ideal Label Edge Router (LER) or Label  
Switch Router (LSR) for deployment of an  
MPLS VPN, Transparent LAN, or Virtual  
Leased Line solution. Riverstones Lightweight  
Flow Accounting Protocol (LFAP) enables  
reliable, real-time billing with wire-speed data  
collection to turn network services into profit  
generating revenue. Overall, the RS 16000  
is designed for maximum capabilities at a  
minimum size for the most demanding  
points in a service providers network.  
Highest Gigabit Ethernet port density on the market: Higher port density means  
reduced colocation costs and greater revenue potential per rack. Dense routers also enable  
service providers to reduce the number of network elements, leading to simpler networks and  
lower operating costs. The RS 16000 is the densest Gigabit aggregation platform on the  
market by far.  
60 wire-speed GbE ports in a 5-rack unit form factor (8.75 inches) over 70% more ports  
per rack-inch than the nearest competitor  
Up to 540 GbE ports in a standard 7-foot rack almost 90% greater capacity than the  
nearest competitor  
Product Overview  
The RS 16000 is a new generation of  
aggregation router designed to aggregate  
Gigabit Ethernet at line rate while enabling  
10 Gigabit metro networks. It provides full  
Metro service-creation capabilities through a  
hardware-based architecture in the industrys  
highest density chassis for Gigabit Ethernet  
aggregation. The RS 16000 delivers 60 wire-  
speed Gigabit Ethernet ports in a 5-rack unit  
chassis, saving rack space and decreasing  
operational complexity by reducing the  
number of deployed network elements.  
The modular chassis is designed to grow as  
customers are added the RS 16000 can  
be deployed with as few as 4 Gigabit Ethernet  
ports, and is expandable up to 60 full wire-  
speed Gigabit Ethernet ports. In addition,  
the RS 16000s bandwidth capacity will  
scale as the network grows by supporting  
8 Gigabit/CWDM and will support 10 Gigabit  
Ethernet as the standard is finalized.  
Massive scalability and uplink capacity: Service providers need substantial uplink capacity  
to backhaul their metro POP and data center traffic, and to build out regional transport networks.  
The RS 16000 meets this need with a choice of high-capacity uplink options.  
Wire-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet, scheduled for release in the near future  
CWDM links delivering 4 Gbps of bi-directional data over a single pair of fiber and transport  
over distances up to 70 km  
Modular, chassis-based platform that allows scaling from 4 to 60 wire-speed GbE ports  
170 Gbps switch fabric capacity, ensuring wire-speed performance even when router is  
fully populated  
Applications and Positioning  
The RS 16000 is designed for high-density  
aggregation of Gigabit Ethernet traffic in the  
metro POP or data center. Whereas the  
RS 8000 and RS 8600 are positioned as  
versatile aggregation and access routers  
capable of processing traffic over any media  
type, the RS 16000 is targeted specifically  
at Gigabit aggregation opportunities. With  
10 Gigabit Ethernet and CWDM uplinks, the  
RS 16000 is also suitable for building out a  
metro core and providing high-speed uplinks  
to the Internet core edge. The RS 16000  
features the same core technology as the rest  
of the RS family, including a common set of  
ASICs and the same system software, enabling  
it to support the full range of service applica-  
tions available with other Riverstone products.  
Cutting-edge service capabilities: The RS 16000 supports an unrivalled range of  
service-enabling technologies, allowing service providers to seamlessly extend value-added  
services across the metro to the core edge. Hardware implementations ensure wire-speed  
performance with all features enabled. Key service-enabling technologies include:  
Carrier-class routing, featuring Tier 1-certified implementations of OSPF, BGP-4, and IS-IS  
Metro-optimized MPLS in hardware, enabling the RS 16000 platform to act as an LER or  
LSR to extend VPN and traffic prioritization services across the metro, across the country,  
or around the world  
Like all Riverstone RS routers, the RS 16000  
features full-function routing capabilities —  
OSPF, BGP-4, and IS-IS as well as an  
unmatched range of service-enabling features,  
including on-demand bandwidth provisioning  
Reliable support for the full 4,096 VLANs specified in 802.1q, and VLAN to LSP mapping  
Hardware-based rate limiting on every port, enabling dynamic bandwidth provisioning at  
the wholesale level  
Irrefutable services accounting at wire-speed, featuring the industrys only connection-oriented  
accounting solution with full RMON I and II on every port in hardware
