Quality of Service (QoS)
• Traffic policing: supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate

Management
• Management interface control: provides management access through modem port and terminal interface; provides access through terminal interface, telnet, or SSH

Connectivity
• High-density port connectivity: provides up to 10 interface module slots and up to 90 Fast Ethernet ports

Performance
• Excellent forwarding performance: provides forwarding performance from 220 Kpps to 360 Kpps; meets today's and future bandwidth-intensive application demands for enterprise businesses

Resiliency and high availability
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP): allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments

Layer 2 switching
• Spanning Tree: fully supports standard IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol, IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol for faster convergence, and IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

Layer 3 services
• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): determines the MAC address of another IP host in the same subnet; supports static ARPs; gratuitous ARP allows detection of duplicate IP addresses; proxy ARP allows normal ARP operation between subnets or when subnets are separated by a Layer 2 network
