to prior modular systems, to address the largest cloud datacenter
routing requirements. Enhancements to the 7500R3
Series
deliver density and performance improvements with investment
protection. The 7280R3
Series
offers up to 48 400G ports that can be split into up to 192
100G ports. All R3-Series feature the proven VoQ deep buffer
architecture, with support for 400G, increased route scale and new
telemetry functions.
