INTRODUCING THE ROUTER 6000
FAMILY
Introduction 3Com 6000 Routers are next generation, high-performance edge routers. The
Router 6040 is a 4-slot chassis. The Router 6080 is an 8-slot chassis. 3Com 6000
Routers offer a robust hardware design, supporting Flexible Interface Cards (FICs),
hot swappable Power Supply Unit (PSU), and 1+1 power backup. Following are
the main features of 6000 Routers.

ATM and DSL Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is a simple, but highly efficient, broadband
technology. A DSL achieves great data transmission capacity over existing copper
wiring, by using digital code modulation technology. The ADSL cards available for
6000 Routers allow medium-to-small-sized enterprises to access the Digital
Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) equipment via Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN) and, then, the Internet.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) transmits, multiplexes, and switches
information in cells. 6000 Routers provide 155Mbps cards supporting ATM
Adaption Layer Type 5 (AAL5), and offers traffic services like Constant Bit Rate
(CBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR). Such routers are
well-suited to the high-speed data service and the transmission of large packets,
