  • Page 6: Chapter 1 Router Overview

    Chapter 1 Router Overview 1.1 Introduction 3Com 6000 Routers are next generation high-performance edge routers that 3Com Corporation solely developed. They provide high forwarding performance and a broad service range. The Router 6000 supports flexible interface cards (FICs), hot swappable fan modules and power supply units (PSUs) in 1+1 redundancy.
  • Page 7 As a LSP is virtually a tunnel across the public network, MPLS has an intrinsic advantage in terms of VPN implementation. The 3Com 6000 Routers usually act as label edge routers (LERs) to connect an MPLS domain with a non-MPLS domain or connect MPLS domains of different service providers, implementing service classification, label distribution, encapsulation, and multi-label peel-off.
