Nokia 7750 SR-e

The Nokia 7750 SR-e series of IP routers deliver high performance, comprehensive features and resiliency. Designed to stay ahead of evolving service demands driven by the cloud, 5G and the Internet of Things, the 7750 SR product family consists of the 7750 SR-s series, the 7750 SR series, the 7750 SR-a series and the 7750 SR-e series.

Versatile platform

For service providers, the Nokia 7750 SR-e enables the delivery of advanced residential, enterprise and mobile services. For webscale companies and enterprises, the 7750 SR-e provides high-performance networking for cloud, data center and wide area networking applications. As an extension to the Nokia 7750 SR product family, the Nokia FP3-based 7750 SR-e scales system capacity from 400 Gb/s half duplex (HD) to 1.2 Tb/s HD. To extend the network edge closer to end users, the 7750 SR-e has the service scale to support multiple applications and functions onto a common platform. The 7750 SR-e’s innovative NEBS-compliant front-to-back thermal design provides the foundation for future growth and delivers investment protection. The 7750 SR-e delivers high-density Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and 10GE density and is ideally suited for GE and 10GE fan-out in subscribed and over-subscribed access and aggregation networks. With high-performance 40GE and 100GE interfaces, the 7750 SR-e can scale access and aggregation networks in step with evolving traffic demands for years to come.

Deterministic performance

The Nokia 7750 SR-e leverages the Nokia 400 Gb/s FP3, which combines a multichip architecture and a flexible memory design to provide deterministic packet forwarding performance even when complex processing-intensive operations are required. With the FP3 traffic manager, buffering is always deterministic and does not degrade or cause control plane discards if the buffer rate increases.

Comprehensive features

With Nokia’s feature-rich 64-bit Service Router Operating System (SR OS) and extensive QoS, IP/MPLS and segment routing capabilities, the 7750 SR-e has the comprehensive features and tools to define and deliver the most stringent SLAs and end-user quality of experience (QoE) requirements. It supports thousands of IP flows and access control lists with high performance and scales even when multiple advanced features are enabled concurrently. The 7750 SR-e supports a leading number of statistics counts per packet, enabling comprehensive statistics for existing and future applications.

Full array of IP routing functions

The 7750 SR-e supports a full array of IP network functions and applications.

Service providers can use the 7750 SR-e in deployments supporting multiple network functions, including Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) for residential subscriber management; provider edge (PE) router for MPLS-enabled enterprise VPN, internet access and cloud services and data center interconnect; mobile applications, including as an aggregation router for 3G, LTE and LTE-A backhaul, a WLAN gateway for Wi-Fi® network aggregation, and a security gateway for securing backhaul networks; and value-added services, including application assurance (AA) and carrier-grade Network Address Translation (NAT).

For webscale companies, the 7750 SR-e delivers leading features for data center aggregation, gateway and interconnect, along with PoP edge and internet peering functions.

For enterprises, the 7750 SR-e provides high-performance IP routing for cloud, data center and wide area networking applications.

High availability

For always-on service delivery, the Nokia 7750 SR-e sets the benchmark for high availability. Moving beyond full system redundancy, the robust SR OS supports numerous features to maximize network stability, ensuring IP/MPLS protocols and services run without interruption. These features include innovative nonstop routing, nonstop services, in-service software upgrade (ISSU) and multi-chassis resiliency mechanisms.

Carrier SDN integration

Multivendor software-defined networking (SDN) control integration is enabled through OpenFlow, PCEP, BGP-LS and NETCONF/YANG interfaces. In combination with the Nokia Network Services Platform (NSP), the cloud-ready 7750 SR-e can be deployed as part of a Carrier SDN solution, supporting unified service automation and network optimization across IP, MPLS, Ethernet and optical transport layers.

IP/optical integration

A standards-based GMPLS user-network interface (UNI) enables the 7750 SR-e to efficiently coordinate IP routing and transport requirements across administrative boundaries and dynamically provision and protect optical segments and end-to-end transport connections.

Network management

The 7750 SR-e is fully managed by the Nokia NSP, resulting in integrated network management across the network infrastructure of service providers, webscale companies and enterprises.
