Cisco NCS 560 Route Switch Processor 4 Enhanced, 800G | Routing, Carrier — N560-RSP4-E=

Keep high-density routing domains under control with the Cisco NCS 560 Route Switch Processor 4 Enhanced. Built for XL-scale environments, this route switch processor is designed to support service provider and large enterprise networks that need stronger control-plane capacity and room for growth. The 800G designation signals a platform positioned for demanding forwarding architectures where scale, stability, and operational headroom matter. For infrastructure teams, the value is not just raw capacity. It is the ability to maintain routing consistency as the network expands, while preserving the operational discipline expected in carrier-grade deployments. That makes this model a fit for aggregation, edge, and transport roles where oversizing the control plane can create future constraints. Cisco positions this RSP for environments that need a premium routing foundation rather than a basic controller. If your network roadmap includes higher port density, more services, and tighter performance expectations, this processor helps anchor the platform with the scale required to support those demands. Ideal For Service provider edge routing in high-density aggregation networks Transport network control-plane scaling for expanding infrastructure Carrier-grade routing foundation for long-term platform growth Large enterprise backbone deployments requiring stronger routing headroom Why This Product 1 Higher-scale control plane than entry routing controllers 2 Built for carrier and service provider network roles 3 800G-class positioning for demanding architectures 4 Better fit for long-term growth than smaller RSP options
