The CRS-1, announced in May, is designed to shuttle traffic across the backbone of the Internet. The company spent four years and $500 million developing the technology, and even created a new software operating system for the product. Cisco claims that the router can reach a routing throughput of 92 terabits, or 92 trillion bits per second.
