Introduction
Cisco IOS XR software is a distributed operating system designed for continuous system operation combined with service flexibility and high performance.
Cisco IOS XR software provides the following features and benefits:
•IP and Routing—Supports a wide range of IPv4 and IPv6 services and routing protocols; such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), IP Multicast, Routing Policy Language (RPL), Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol features (VRRP).
•BGP Prefix Independent Convergence—Provides the ability to converge BGP routes within sub seconds instead of multiple seconds. The Forwarding Information Base (FIB) is updated, independent of a prefix, to converge multiple 100K BGP routes with the occurrence of a single failure. This convergence is applicable to both core and edge failures and with or with out MPLS. This fast convergence innovation is unique to Cisco IOS XR software.
•Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)—Supports MPLS protocols, including Traffic Engineering (TE), Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN), Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), and Layer 3 Virtual Private Network (L3VPN).
•Multicast—Provides comprehensive IP Multicast software including Source Specific Multicast (SSM) and Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) in Sparse Mode only. Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS-1) router supports Bidirectional Protocol Independent Multicast (BIDIR-PIM).
•Quality of Service (QoS)—Supports rich QoS mechanisms including policing, marking, queuing, random and hard traffic dropping, and shaping. Additionally, Cisco IOS XR supports modular QoS command-line interface (MQC). MQC is used to configure various QoS features on various Cisco platforms.
•Manageability—Provides industry-standard management interfaces including modular command-line interface (CLI), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and native Extensible Markup Language (XML) interfaces. Includes a comprehensive set of Syslog messaging.
•Security—Provides comprehensive network security features including access control lists (ACLs); routing authentications; Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA)/Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+); Secure Shell (SSH); Management Plane Protection (MPP) for control plan security; and Simple Network Management Protocol version3 (SNMPv3). Control plane protections integrated into line card Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) include Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM), RFC 3682, and Dynamic Control Plane Protection (DCPP).
•Craft Works Interface (CWI)—CWI is a client-side application used to configure and manage Cisco routers. Management and configuration features include fault, configuration, security, and inventory, with an emphasis on speed and efficiency. The CWI provides a context-sensitive graphical representation of the objects in a Cisco router, simplifying the process of configuring and managing the router. The CWI allows you to log in to multiple routers and perform management tasks.
•Availability—Supports rich availability features such as fault containment, fault tolerance, fast switchover, link aggregation, nonstop routing for ISIS, LDP and OSPF, and nonstop forwarding (NSF).
•Multicast service delivery in SP NGN—MVPNv4 support carries multicast traffic over an ISP MPLS core network.
•IPv6 Provider Edge Router support for IPv6 applications—Delivers IPv6 traffic over an IPv4/MPLS core with IPv6 Provider Edge Router (6PE) support (Prior to 3.7.0, supported on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router only. With 3.7.0 this feature is supported on the CRS-1).
•IPv6 VPN over MPLS (6VPE) support—Delivers IPv6 VPN over MPLS (IPv6) VPN traffic over an IPv4 or MPLS core with 6VPE support (Prior to 3.7.0, supported on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router only. With 3.7.0 this feature is supported on the CRS-1).
•6VPE over L2TPv3 support—Delivers IPv6 VPN traffic over L2TPv3 core with 6VPE support (Cisco XR 12000 Series Router only). This feature is also available on Cisco IOS software.
•Enhanced core competencies:
–IP fast convergence with Fast Reroute (FRR) support for Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS)
–Traffic engineering support for unequal load balancing
–Path Computation Element (PCE) capability for traffic engineering
•Firewall Services—Seamless insertion of Firewall Services in the data path with Virtual Firewall support on Multi Service Blade (XR-12K-MSB) for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.
•VPN IPSec Aggregation —The IPSec Aggregation feature is provided through SPA-IPSEC-2G-2 card. The IPSec Aggregation feature allows you to terminate up to 64k VPN tunnels, both site-to-site and remote access, if four VPN SPAs are used.
•Voice Video—Voice Video interconnect between providers with Session Border Controller (SBC) on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.
•L2TPv3 Tunneling Mechanism—Service Providers who do not use MPLS in the core, but want to offer VPN services can use the L2TPv3 tunneling mechanism. This feature support includes IPv4 (VPNv4) and IPv6 (6VPE) VPN services using L2TPv3 encapsulation. The L2TPv3 packet is encapsulated in an IPv4 delivery header and is carried across an IPv4 backbone. VPN prefixes are advertised with BGP labels and resolved over L2TPv3 tunnels. This feature is supported only on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router
For more information about new features provided on various platforms for Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.7.0, see the "New Features and Enhancements" section in this document.

Memory Requirements
Caution If you remove the media in which the software image or configuration is stored, the router may become unstable and fail.
The minimum memory requirements for Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.7.0 consist of the following:
•2-GB route memory on Performance Route Processor 2 (PRP-2)
Note 4-GB route memory on PRP-2 is required if IPSec tunnel scale of 64K is planned.
•2-GB ATA flash storage on PRP-2
•1-GB line card route memory on all Engine 3 line cards
•1-GB line card memory on all Engine 5-based SPA interface processors (SIPs)
–The default route memory on the 12000-SIP-600 is 1 GB.
–The default route memory on the 12000-SIP-401, 501, and 601 is 2 GB.
Note The performance route processor 1 (PRP-1) is not supported in production environments.
•2-GBPCMCIA Flash Disk
Note Customers must upgrade the PCMCIA 1GB Flash Disk on their Cisco XR 12000 Series Router before upgrading from IOS XR 3.6 to IOS XR 3.7. Refer to the "Minimum Flash Disk Requirements When Upgrading to Release 3.7" section for upgrade details.
