NE40E series: High‑end service routers for metro aggregation and edge‑core scenarios.
Difference vs other models: Compared with NE9000‑8, NE9000‑20 provides more service slots, higher port density and larger total throughput, oriented for ultra‑high‑traffic backbone and large‑scale DCI scenarios. Unlike cluster‑based NE5000E series, NE9000‑20 focuses on high‑performance single‑chassis deployment without multi‑chassis cluster capability. It supports MDS multi‑domain virtual system to implement logical device isolation on one physical chassis.
