Cisco Ships 900 CRS-1s to more than 85 providers

Cisco Systems Inc. announced it has shipped 900 of its CRS-1 Carrier Routing Systems to more than 85 providers since it began distribution in August 2004.

The company attributes the growth in CRS-1 sales to IP traffic growth on global networks. According to data compiled by Cisco and industry analysts, Internet video produced six-times more IP traffic in 2006 than the amount of IP traffic that crossed the entire U.S. Internet backbone in 2000. By 2011, global IP traffic is projected to reach more than 26 exabytes per month (an exabyte is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one quintillion bytes).
