Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Agile Core: Empowering core peering
As network traffic continues to grow exponentially, service providers face the challenge of delivering reliable, high-performance connectivity for backbone networks. Cisco’s Agile Core solutions are designed to redefine core peering by offering dynamic, intelligent, and scalable architectures that adapt to evolving network demands. With the introduction of new Cisco Silicon One™ P100 systems and Cisco® 8000 Series Routers, service providers can now leverage state-of-the-art routing platforms, traffic engineering, and advanced automation to enable seamless interconnection between autonomous systems, enhancing both efficiency and flexibility. These solutions empower service providers to optimize traffic flows, reduce latency, and support new bandwidth-intensive applications such as 5G, IoT, and AI workloads.
Within Agile Core, new and existing P100 devices can be used for higher-performance and lower-footprint core and peering functionality, including converged core. The portfolio spans the Cisco 8212-48FH-M Router (P100), the Cisco 8711-32FH-M Router (P100), the Cisco 88-LC1- 12TH24FH-E line card (P100), the Cisco 88-LC1- 52Y8H-EM line card (P100), Cisco Crosswork Network Automation, Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance (formerly Accedian Skylight), and Cisco Routed Optical Networking/ Cisco coherent pluggable optics.
