The NetEngine 8000 F series comprises high-performance and large-capacity metro edge routers designed for the cloud era. Featuring large capacity, full scenarios, and low power consumption, the F series applies to scenarios such as metro edge access, aggregation, and centralized BBU deployment. The F series provides SRv6 capabilities, simplifying network protocols and providing application-level SLA assurance.
The NetEngine 8000 F1A supports a maximum capacity of 1.2 Tbps. At only 1 U high and 420 mm deep, the F series can be installed in the same cabinet with servers, greatly reducing the footprint in equipment rooms.
The NetEngine 8000 F8 is the industry's highest-density 10GE/GE aggregation router. At only 13U high and 470 mm deep, it provides a port capacity of up to 2 Tbps. Moreover, it provides eight service slots and 100GE, 50GE, 40GE, 10GE, GE, FE, POS, CPOS, and E1 interfaces to adapt to various services. In addition, F8 adopt a redundancy design for key components to ensure stable services to customers. The NetEngine 8000 F8 is an ideal choice for aggregation and multi-service transport in the cloud era.
The NetEngine 8000 F series is an all-scenario platform that can function as SR, BNG, CGN, IPSec, simplifying network layers and node complexity.
It supports a wide range of software features, including SRv6, network slicing (FlexE), and In-situ Flow Information Telemetry (iFIT). SRv6 enables automated connections across domains, service provisioning within minutes, and one-hop access to the cloud. It also supports intelligent traffic steering based on policies such as latency and bandwidth for applications and tenants on the cloud, allowing on-demand scheduling of network resources and guaranteeing SLAs for different services. FlexE realizes one network for multiple purposes, thereby saving customer investment. In addition, with iFIT, the F series achieves real-time visualization of network service quality and facilitates fast fault demarcation and locating.
The NetEngine 8000 F series routers adopt a simplified architecture and use multiple components to dynamically save the power consumption of the entire system.
