The Cisco Performance Route Processor 1 (PRP-1/R) is a versatile and high-performance plug-in module designed to enhance routing capabilities in Cisco routers. Built with efficiency and reliability in mind, this module performs the critical function of traffic management and ensures that routers meet the demands of modern network infrastructures. It is part of Cisco's range of performance route processors, offering improved speed and system resilience.
The PRP-1/R is engineered to process up to 1 million packets per second, making it ideal for medium to large-scale networks. Equipped with dual PowerPC processors running at 800 MHz each, this route processor significantly boosts the router’s throughput and ensures network stability under heavy traffic load. The PRP-1/R supports the sophisticated software features available in Cisco IOS software, providing enhanced routing protocol performance and finer control over network traffic.
In addition to robust processing power, 1 GB DDR SDRAM memory is standard on this board, enabling it to cache routing tables of considerable size, therefore supporting efficient and dynamic re-routing as network conditions change. The module is hot-swappable, allowing network administrators to change or upgrade the processor without having to power down the router or disrupt network service.
Further, Gigabit Ethernet management ports provide network operators fast access to the control plane, which helps with remote diagnostics, software maintenance, and network management. Its support for VPN services and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) also helps enterprises running advanced network configurations.
Given its versatility and comprehensive feature set, the Cisco Performance Route Processor 1 offers an excellent solution for businesses seeking efficient routing performance and high uptime without sacrificing network flexibility.
