Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR | Data Sheet 2
Alcatel-Lucent is committed to helping
sustain a green, eco-friendly planet.
We recognize the importance that a
green telecommunications industry
has on the overall environment and
the beneficial impact that our tech-
nology and products can provide in
help ing our customers meet their
energy reduc tion goals. With leading
advances in thermal efficiency, power
efficiency and silicon design, the 7750
SR is uniquely positioned to help
oper ators meet their energy efficiency
and environmental goals.
Unlike legacy Internet era routers
whose forwarding performance drops
off when complex services are enabled
and have expensive, highly disruptive
and unproven migration strategies for
next-generation service delivery, the
Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR delivers superior
routing performance, highly available
services, simultaneous support for
Layer 2 and Layer 3 services to any
port, the virtualization of advanced
services, and investment preservation
that leverages all in-place hardware
for incremental performance gains and
service expansion. Furthermore, the
7750 SR is production-proven, targeted
at service providers, MSOs, mobile
operators, Internet service providers,
application service providers and
industry and public sector (IPS) custom-
ers (operators), and has become the
routing platform of choice for large-
scale IP network transformation
projects the world over.
Terabit Routing
At the heart of the Alcatel-Lucent 7750
SR is the fully programmable, highly-
flexible FP packet processing silicon
technology. Based on state-of-the-art
network processing technology, the
Alcatel-Lucent FP processing complex
provides industry-leading perfor-
mance, service depth and feature
velocity. A revolutionary breakthrough
in silicon technology, Alcatel-Lucent’s
new FP2 packet processing technology
now delivers 100 Gb/s (half duplex)
throughput and delivers an optimal
combination of performance and
service flexibility to support hardware-
based IP/MPLS, IPv4 and IPv6 routing,
granular traffic management, and
high-touch packet services in a single
routing complex. FP technology
delivers a high degree of scalability
with performance predictability,
with no tradeoff between terabit
performance and advanced service
delivery. FP technology enables rich
and robust edge-routing and core-
routing capabilities, supporting the
full complement of IP routing and
multiprotocol label switching (MPLS)
protocols, and it also delivers highly
scalable multicast services.
Each FP processing complex is
composed of customized, fully
programmable processors. These
processors are optimized for fast
packet manipulation, allowing the
Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR to deliver the
speed, density and packet processing
intelligence required to enable ad-
vanced Layer 3 services while ensur ing
the continuity of legacy Layer 2
services over the IP/MPLS network
infrastructure. The programmable
attributes of FP technology enable
unparalleled feature velocity, whereby
new features such as IPv6-based IP
VPNs are software and microcode
enhancements requiring no hardware
changes, allowing for rapid service
introduction.
Leveraging FP2 technology, the
Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR delivers 50 Gb/s
(full duplex) throughput per slot and
scales to a total platform capacity of
1 Tb/s. In addition, FP technology
supports all interface types, so common
silicon is used across platform interface
modules, enabling absolute service
consistency with complete interop er-
ability. Purpose-built and optimized
for high-demand environments, FP
technology enables the 7750 SR to
deliver a variety of complex consumer,
business and mobile services with
granular per-service and/or per-
subscriber controls.
The Alcatel-Lucent service router
portfolio delivers some of the highest
levels of energy efficiency in the market.
Driven by our innovative and highly
energy efficient FP2 chipset — the
Industry’s first 100G packet processing
silicon with a power efficiency of just
0.6 Watts per Gigabit — Alcatel-Lucent
technology enables the 7750 SR to
handle greater traffic volumes in a
smaller physical footprint while
consuming less power per Gigabit
than competitive products.
Seamless upgrade to
terabit routing
Networks using current generation FP
technology are fully and seamlessly
upgradable to FP2 and terabit routing,
thereby fully preserving operators’
current investments and extending
them well into the future. Multi-
generational interoperability between
IOMs, Media Dependent Adapters
(MDAs), IMMs and Integrated Service
Adapters (ISAs) allows operators to
leverage all in-place hardware, enabling
them to achieve incremental perfor-
mance and service gains with no
compromise on performance. In
addition, to simplify sparing requir e-
ments, IOMs, MDAs, IMMs, ISAs,
and Switch Fabric/Control Processor
Modules (SF/CPMs) are portable
between the platforms.
Service routing superiority
The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR is a highly
scalable routing platform that delivers
high-touch packet processing to enable
next-generation service creation
without compromising forwarding
performance and service depth. The
market-leading innovation of FP2-
based packet processing complex
gives the 7750 SR wire-speed packet
tunnel encapsulation and access
control list (ACL) filtering, forwarding
tables that scale to 3 million IPv4 and
IPv6 addresses, and 64,000 service
queues per Input/Output Module
3-XP (IOM3-XP), enabling up to eight
distinct priority levels per subscriber,
with no packet loss. For edge and core
