IBM® Ethernet Router m-series routers are powerful enablers of advanced
converged enterprise backbones. They are designed to feature high port density,
high performance, and scalable design, with:
• Service provider grade IPv4, IPv6, MPLS, and Multi-Virtual Routing and Forwarding
(VRF)-enabled metro routing
• Advanced and scalable Metro Ethernet Layer 2 services
• Up to 64 10 GbE, 320 1 GbE, or 128 OC-12/48 user ports
• Redundant, high availability architecture
Overview
IBM Ethernet Router m-series family of routers are high-performance switching
routers designed to deliver:
• Four, eight, or sixteen slot models for deployment versatility
• High-performance IPv4, IPv6, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and Multi-
Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) capabilities along with advanced Layer 2
switching services
• A fully distributed, non-blocking architecture with up to 3.2 Tbps data capacity
and 2 Bpps per system
IBM Ethernet Router m-series family includes:
• Four slot IBM Ethernet Router B04M (4003-M04)
• Eight slot IBM Ethernet Router B08M (4003-M08)
• Sixteen slot IBM Ethernet Router B16M (4003-M16)
IBM Ethernet Router m-series routers are well suited for a wide range of advanced
applications in Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs), Internet edge and aggregation
routing, high-security data centers, large-enterprise core, and high performance
computing (HPC). These models are designed to:
• Offer carrier-grade quality of service (QoS) for enabling converged triple-play
(voice, video, and data) networks
• Deliver wire-speed performance for IPv4, IPv6, and MPLS routing and switching,
combined with advanced packet processing and traffic management capabilities
