The Cisco 10700 Series Internet Routers are the only metro edge access routers designed to optimize optical transport with Dynamic Packet Transport (DPT), Cisco's market leading Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) technology, to integrate full IP routing and services and to deliver intelligent Ethernet subscriber interfaces for simple, scalable, and reliable networks.

• Enables providers to extend their existing Carrier IP/MPLS infrastructure into the metro to deliver rich Ethernet and IP services.
• Delivers highly programmable, high-end routing features in a compact, 2 rack unit form factor.
• The only proven Metro access solution to integrate Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) technology -- which doubles network bandwidth over traditional SONET technologies -- while maintaining sub-50ms network restoration.
