Key Benefits and Selling Points
IP service delivery to the access edge: The broad range of interfaces supported on the
RS 1000 and RS 3000 means that service providers can extend their IP/Ethernet services to
subscribers regardless of the last mile access technology in place. And the flexible, modular
design of the RS 1000/3000 platform means service providers can migrate seamlessly from
legacy to optical infrastructure. Interface options available for the RS 1000 and RS 3000 include
T1/E1, T3/E3, 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet, and ATM.
Value-added services closer to the end-user: Because all Riverstone routers share
the same core technology, the RS 1000 and RS 3000 feature all the robust service-creation
technologies found on the largest core edge router. This means service providers can deploy
value-added services right at the customers’ premises for true end-to-end service delivery.
And since all service-enabling features are implemented in hardware, performance never
suffers when they are activated. Examples of key service-enabling technologies featured
in the RS 1000/3000 include:
• Metro-optimized MPLS in hardware, enabling service providers to activate VPN and traffic
prioritization services right at the access edge for end-to-end VPNs and QoS
• Hardware-based rate limiting on every port supports dynamic bandwidth provisioning
at the subscriber level
• Reliable support for the full 4,096 VLANs specified in 802.1Q provides service providers
and their customers with an easy method of rolling out VPNs and segmenting traffic
• Carrier-class routing, featuring Tier 1-certified implementations of OSPF and BGP-4
Services billing at the customer level: The RS 1000 and RS 3000 feature Riverstone’s
unique billing and accounting technology – the only irrefutable services accounting solution on the
market. This enables service providers to capture services accounting data at the access edge.
Key accounting features include:
• The industry’s only connection-oriented (TCP-based) accounting solution, ensuring that
critical accounting data will never be lost
•
All accounting features in hardware for wire speed network performance with accounting enabled
• All RMON I and RMON II groups on every port for unmatched granularity of accounting data
Wire-speed security at the subscriber site: The RS 1000 and RS 3000 bring the full
security capabilities of Riverstone’s core ASIC set directly to the customer site, providing user,
address, application, and port-level security. Key security features include:
•
All security features in hardware so network performance never suffers when security is activated
• Up to 20,000 access control lists (ACLs) or Layer 2 filters
• Hardware-based network address translation (NAT)
High port density on the RS 3000: The RS 3000 features as many as 64 10/100 ports in a
2-rack unit form factor, offering service providers an efficient platform for conserving rack space.

Metro Access Routers
Product Overview
The RS 1000 and RS 3000 are Riverstone’s
metro access routers, among the most widely
deployed access platforms in the metro.
Featuring metro-optimized MPLS, full function
routing and switching, dynamic bandwidth
provisioning, and connection-oriented
accounting, these products extend the
delivery of intelligent IP services to the metro
access edge. At the same time, the RS 1000
and RS 3000 combine a compact form factor
with high port density to reduce operational
costs and improve service provider margins.
A key factor in the popularity of these routers
is their unique ability to deliver Layer 2 and
Layer 3 services to the access edge over both
legacy and optical networks. The RS 1000
and the RS 3000 both feature two flexible
media slots that accommodate Fast Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet, T1/E1, T3/E3, and ATM. The
RS 3000 also features 32 fixed configuration
10/100 ports for high-density building access
over fast Ethernet.
Applications and Positioning
The RS 1000 and RS 3000 are both access
platforms that are typically used in the building
basement to connect enterprise subscribers to
metro and WAN networks. Service providers
have deployed the RS 1000 and RS 3000
to extend metro Ethernet deployments to
customers with last-mile TDM access, to offer
VLAN-based or MPLS-based Transparent
LAN services over a wide-area ATM network,
or to simply provide fast Ethernet access
with Gigabit uplinks.
Like all Riverstone routers, the RS 1000 and
RS 3000 feature the same core technology,
including a common set of ASICs and the
same system software. Interface cards are
interchangeable between these two products.
The RS 1000 and RS 3000 also share the
same 2-rack unit form factor and are suitable
for many of the same applications. The key
difference between these products is that
the RS 3000 features 32 fixed configuration
10/100 ports that are absent on the RS 1000.
Which product is appropriate for a given
customer will depend on the specific
access configuration required.
