The Cisco Performance Route Processor 2 (PRP-2) is a high-performance routing engine designed specifically for Cisco 12000 Series Routers. It operates as a vital plug-in module that greatly enhances the router’s efficiency by handling key tasks related to network routing. The PRP-2 provides improved processing capabilities and larger memory capacity compared to its predecessors, making it suitable for demanding network environments that require high-speed data transmission.
This module supports up to 4 GB of DRAM, significantly increasing the memory available for route processing and control-plane operations. The additional memory capacity allows the system to maintain a larger number of routes in memory, which supports service providers in scaling their networks more effectively. With enhanced processing power, the PRP-2 enables routers to manage more complex routing protocols and greater levels of traffic.
The PRP-2 also includes support for high availability features, such as Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF) and Stateful Switchover (SSO), which ensure continuous operation during software upgrades and failovers. This is particularly essential for service providers and enterprises running mission-critical applications, where network downtime could result in significant operational losses.
It offers flexible connectivity options and provides backward compatibility with earlier versions of the Performance Route Processor, ensuring smooth upgrades to more modern systems. This means that users can benefit from the enhanced performance of the PRP-2 without needing to replace the entire routing hardware, thus providing cost savings while extending the lifespan of existing infrastructure.
