Cisco Systems announced its next generation core router, the CRS-3. The new system can route 100 Gbit/second streams and sports an aggregate throughput of up to 322 Terabits/second.
AT&T Labs said it has tested the system in field trials as part of its plans to transition from 40 to 100 Gbit/s backbone networks over the next few years.
