About Cisco Network Convergence 500
The NCS 500 Series offers a secure and highly available access-routing platform for service providers. Both fixed and modular form factors support advanced automation and programmability to provide 5G, Remote PHY, Carrier Ethernet, and FTTx. The NCS 540 and NCS 560 are built for 5G with advanced timing, ultra-low latency, and ultra-high capacity. They provide the foundation for pervasive Mobile Broadband (MBB), massive IoT, tactile Internet, smart cities, and AR/VR. Build application-aware networks with segment routing, open and programmable interfaces using NETCONF and YANG data models and APIs, and real-time visibility with streaming telemetry. Intelligently converge network services onto a single platform with the highly scalable and energy efficient NCS 500 Series. Flexibly scale capacity with ports that support 1/10/25/40/100 GbE.

Cisco 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers provide a Software Defined WAN platform that aggregates multiple WAN connections and network services including encryption and traffic management, and forward them across WAN connections at line speeds from 2.5 to 200 Gbps. The routers contain both hardware and software redundancy in an industry-leading high-availability design. The latest additions to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series are the Cisco ASR 1002-HX Router and the Cisco ASR 1001-HX Router. Both new routers support up to 100 Gbps in a 2-Rack-Unit (2RU) and 60 Gbps in a 1-Rack-Unit (1RU) form factor, respectively. The ASR 1002-HX has 8 built-in 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports and 8 1 GE ports, with the Ethernet Port Adapter (EPA) slot for expansion. The ASR 1001-HX has 4 built-in 10 GE ports, 8 1 GE ports, and 4 configurable 10 GE or 1 GE ports. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor 3 is the newest addition to the modular control plane engines in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series.

Cisco Network Convergence 560
The Cisco® NCS 560 Series Router delivers a cost-effective, modular solution based on a protocol-independent fabric architecture. The Cisco NCS 560 Series Router, as part of the Cisco Evolved Programmable Network (EPN) architecture, is capable of delivering unbounded scale and unmatched capabilities for Carrier Ethernet business services, over redundant and protected packet-based network technologies (IP/MPLS, MPLS-TE, SR, SR-TE, TI-LFA). The Cisco NCS 560 Series Router Ethernet interface modules are designed to give customers a high degree of flexibility and value. All Ethernet interface modules share a common core that supports time stamping on the module for Y.1731 Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) delay measurement functions to achieve precise results for one-way and two-way delay measurement. The modules also provide time-stamping functions for the IEEE 1588-2008 protocol.
