CCR2116-12G-4S+

We wanted to see the full potential of good, old, reliable 10G networking combined with a modern CPU. The CCR2116-12G-4S+ lets you forget about CPU limitations in your setup. Like its little brother, the amazing CCR2004, this router features Amazon Annapurna Labs’ powerful Alpine CPU.

But with 16 cores running at 2GHz, this CCR eats the other one for breakfast. For example, we see at least a 15% increase in single-core performance. And that's the most important aspect when it comes to heavy, per-connection processing-based operations. Like queuing, for example. CCR2116-12G-4S+ sets the bar for a new standard of single-core performance across the entire CCR product family! And it supports Layer 3 hardware offload!

Obviously, you need the right connectivity to harness this power. There are four 10G SFP+ ports. They have a separate full-duplex line connected to the Marvell Aldrin family switch chip. Then we have Gigabit Ethernet ports. 12 of them are running through the Marvel chip. And there’s another Gigabit port connected directly to the CPU. For management purposes.

Each group of 4 ports has an independent full duplex connection to the switch chip. No bottlenecks here. You can expect switch-like performance in most configurations. The new generation of processors delivers mind-blowing performance. If you look at the CCR1036, the powerhouse with a 36-core CPU, the new CCR2116 can easily double the performance. 16 cores versus 36 cores. Double the performance. Or even more.

If you are a fairly large ISP, dealing with dynamic routing, massive BGP, complex firewall rules, and intricate QoS configurations… This is the device for you. Combining raw power and utility with the reliable 10G network. And yes, as with any ISP-grade device, we have included a dual redundant power supply. So you have one less thing to worry about.

CCR2116-12G-4S+: Time-tested technology, built for the future.
