Cisco: A fraction of a second
There is a lot of speculation happening these days regarding a mysterious announcement on the Cisco website these days. The amount of information on the website is limited mainly to a short video clip and indicating that the full announcement will be next week on the November 11th.
Some of the rumours say that this will be the release of a new access router platform, rumored to be called the ASR 14000. There is not a lot of information out there officially so far.
cisconetblog.com had a short post about the new platform recently, but the post has been taken down shortly after. You can still find a copy of it in Google’s cache. The post confirmed that the new platform is based on the CRS-1 hardware (with some restrictions) and will be running IOS-XR.
