About the Cisco ASR 9000 A9K-MOD80-TR Cisco ASR 9000 carrier router
QoS, traffic shaping, and application-aware routing define the Cisco ASR 9000 A9K-MOD80-TR, a modular line card built for carrier-class networks demanding sophisticated traffic management and protocol diversity. This Cisco ASR 9000 series module delivers 80 Gbps aggregate bandwidth with distributed forwarding intelligence via Typhoon ASIC technology, enabling line-card-level packet processing and sub-50ms failover times. Network engineers and enterprise infrastructure teams rely on this platform for its dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 hardware forwarding, comprehensive MPLS support—including LDP, RSVP-TE, and Segment Routing (SR-MPLS)—and native routing protocol support for BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, EIGRP, and RIP via Cisco IOS XR.
The A9K-MOD80-TR features two MPA slots for flexible interface provisioning and integrates hierarchical QoS with per-flow and per-subscriber granularity for precise traffic control. High availability is built in through In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU), Non-Stop Routing (NSR), and Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF) capabilities, ensuring zero-downtime maintenance and recovery. Modern operations teams benefit from rich programmability—NETCONF, YANG, gRPC, SNMP, and CLI—enabling seamless integration into orchestration and analytics frameworks. The module is NEBS Level 3 compliant and compatible across the full ASR 9000 chassis lineup: ASR 9001, ASR 9006, ASR 9010, ASR 9904, ASR 9906, ASR 9910, ASR 9912, and ASR 9922.
Deployment Scenarios
- Carrier backbone aggregation with multi-protocol label switching and traffic engineering
- Enterprise WAN edge routing requiring granular per-subscriber QoS and MPLS overlay services
- High-availability core and peering networks leveraging NSR and NSF for continuous uptime
- IPv6 migration and dual-stack deployments with hardware-based forwarding parity
- Service provider edge environments demanding real-time policy application and segment routing
