Whitecloud writes "After 4 years of development and $500 million in costs, Cisco have a new router: the CRS-1, or Carrier Routing System. Cool features include a 40 gigabit-per-second optical interface, and the ability to cluster the boxes to act as a single router. retail starts at $450,000. Video available here." Update: 05/26 13:55 GMT by T : Sorry; I missed the previous mention of this device.
Yes, but that post was from CmdrTaco.
This one is from timothy.
Completely different.
Well, yesterday they could just route 92 Tbps, today they're at 40 Gbps!
Uhm, waitaminute...
Bitten Apples are still better than dirty Windows...
Another huge benefit of Cisco's new router is that you will be able to read Slashdot dupes even faster!
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
the ability to cluster the boxes to act as a single router
/. to cluster the dupes to act as a single thread?
...
what about copy the feature on

4. profit!!
Presuming that Cisco use their own products, this is just about the first link to a video on /. that isn't going to be /.'d within 5 minutes of the article being posted.
The source code is available on the net for free!

What the fuck are you gonna see in the video?

A classic breakdown in communication between the hope-they-changed-the-passwords dept. and the like-the-$6-million-man dept.

retail starts at $450,000
I have no idea how I'm going to get my wife to go for that, but maybe the 48Gb will impress her...
Do you have ESP?
...that gets more embellished everytime I hear it. I think I'm gonna go mention to someone "hey, have you heard about Cisco's new 20 billion dollar router?"

Sorry if this has been mentioned but from zdnet:
CRS-1, which previously had been code-named HFR for Huge Fast Router,
Yes yes, I'm sure that while in dev the 'F' stood for 'Fast'.
I would think the RIAA/MPAA would demand that DRM be built into this device since due to its speed, contributes to piracy.
RIAA/MPAA...... The festering boil on the buttocks of America.

Gilette's Mach 3 cost $1 billion to develop and doesn't do nearly as much as this thing does.
But haven't you seen the commercials? They had to test that sucker in F-15's and space stations on male underware models while ex-Russian kiddie-porn stars fondled them to evaluate the results.
> CRS-1, which previously had been code-named HFR for Huge Fast Router,
HFR : Huge Fast Router?

transpose with whatever word you feel appropriate. I know what I'm going with.
Screw you all! I'm off to the pub
...by hooking up a few homemade Intel boxes and putting Linux on them, using the same mythical Slashdot architecture that appears to apply to every other kind of computing problem discussed here?
Future Slashdot Poll: Suppose you had a router that could handle 2300 40Gbps interfaces?
Yes they did, and all of those backdoors, unchangable passwords and vulnerabilities were found to be within Cisco specifications.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
I'd drag it to the top of the cliff with a train of burros and then push it off onto the heads of people who post stupid comments on slashdot as they passed beneath. I bet that fucker weighs well over 150 lb, especially fully loaded.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Do you mean Internet Protocol (default at Slashdot) or Intellectual Property (default at Groklaw)?
:-)
Either way, I didn't understand what you mean by "IP vendor"
that's more capacity than any organization can use at this time
You obviously haven't seen the multi-player requirements for Half-Life 2.
CRS-1, that's funny...
Can't Route Shit
Why didn't they think of something better?
heh.

Now how exactly would you know she was an ex-kiddie-porn star, mmmhhh?
And home user still paying through the nose for a measly 1.5Mbps DSL, if they can even get 1.5Mbps to the home - just down the street from Cisco campus in Santa Clara.
The irony.....
Yes, Cisco needs money in order to keep coding insecure TCP/IP stacks and patent things invented by other people.
