Cisco 12000 Gigabit Switch Router (GSR) launches

1997

Array

The Cisco 12000 Gigabit Switch Router (GSR) and Cisco Cache Engine enables internet service providers and carrier customers the first completely distributed, modular router with the ability to seamlessly scale – over 100 times the original capacity – without being taken off of the network and replaced.

As service providers realize that customers expect more than just "best-effort services", quality of serice (QoS) becomes increasingly important in avoiding downtime.
