Next generation infrastructures must be able to scale in capacity, protocols and interfaces while
the system is in service. The 670's protocols and interfaces can be added on an as-needed
basis without impacting existing services -- whether you are adding MPLS/IP to an ATM base,
scaling fabric throughput, or simply increasing port density. For routing and signaling, dual
control planes are provided in an integrated fashion. IP flows, MPLS paths and ATM virtual
circuits can all be flexibly configured with per-port or per-VC/LSP granularity.

Key features of the 670:

Standalone or multishelf platform for evolutionary growth with in-service upgrades
Scalability from 50 Gb/s to 450 Gb/s and architected up to Tb/s
Wire-speed IP forwarding, scaling from 60 Mpps to 600 Mpps
Backbone interface speeds from OC-3/STM-1 to OC-192/STM-64 (PoS and ATM)
IP/MPLS protocols, including BGP4, OSPF, RIP, IS-IS, LDP, CR-LPD and RSVP
ATM signaling and protocols, including UNI 3.1/4.0, PNNI QoS Routing and PNNI Hierarchy
IP CoS and ATM QoS, including DSCP classification, IP traffic shaping, per-VC queuing and all ATM service categories
Carrier class reliability (fully redundant platform with 99.999 percent availability)
Advanced network and service management
