Foundry Networks, Inc. 15000 is a carrier class chassis-based switching router that delivers an immense 480 Gbps of total switching capacity and 178 Mpps of routing throughput. Foundry Networks, Inc. 15000 can scale up to 120 Gigabit Ethernet ports making it the highest Gigabit density switching router in the industry. Each BigIron module houses an eight Gbps full duplex backplane connection, for a massive 240 Gbps of non-blocking inter-module switching capacity.

Based on Foundry's IronCore ASIC designs shipping for the past 21 months, Foundry Networks, Inc. 15000 offers customers the ability to deploy high density 10/100/1000 Mbps, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Packet Over SONET interfaces by simply adding the new interface modules into the chassis.

Foundry Networks, Inc. 15000 also continues Foundry's tradition of offering complete software and hardware redundancy and high-availability through a fully distributed switching architecture with redundant management modules, N+1 load-sharing and hot swappable AC and DC power supply options, hot swappable interface modules, SONET Automatic Protection Switching (APS), as well as support for the IETF Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and the Foundry Standby Routing Protocol (FSRP) - providing for full router fault tolerance.

Foundry Networks, Inc. 15000 delivers unique product features including fully dynamic VLAN capabilities, wire-speed Access Control Lists (ACLs), and full support for QoS classification and prioritization. BigIron 15000, like its siblings Foundry Networks, Inc. 4000 and BigIron 8000 modular chassis, are all 10 Gigabit Ethernet ready. Foundry Networks, Inc. 15000 is a high performance, wire-speed switching router which supports a robust set of protocols including IP, IPX, Appletalk, RIPv1/2, OSPF, BGP4, IGMP, DVMRP, PIM Dense and Sparse Modes.
