Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Cisco 7606-S and 7609-S routers are designed for deployment at the network edge, where robust performance and IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching services are necessary to meet the requirements of both enterprises and service providers. It enables Carrier Ethernet service providers to deploy an advanced network infrastructure that supports a range of IP video and triple-play (voice, video, and data) system applications in both the residential and business services markets. They also deliver WAN and metropolitan-area network networking solutions at the enterprise edge.
