1.1.1 Secure Router 8000 Series
The Secure Router 8000 Series routers are grouped into SR8002, SR8004, SR8008, and
SR8012 routers based on the number of slots. The equipment structure and the system of the
SR8012 are similar to the SR8008. All of the routers have a modular architecture and provide
optional multifunctional interface modules such as the High-speed Interface Card (HIC) and
Flexible Interface Card (FIC).
The Secure Router 8000 Series routers provide a coherent network interface, user interface,
and management interface, as well as flexibility and configurability. The routers integrate
technologies such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Virtual Private Network (VPN),
Quality of Service (QoS), tragic engineering, multicast, and user management. The routers
also support link layer protocols. In networking applications, as high-performance
convergence devices, the routers can provide overall service processing capacity and flexible
network solutions, thus improving network value and reducing costs.
1.1.2 Architecture
Based on the TCP/IP structure model, the Secure Router 8000 Series supports multiple data
link layer protocols, network layer protocols, and application layer protocols, as shown in
Figure 1-1.
