NEWS

On Tuesday, Cisco announced the CRS-3, its next-generation internet router for the world's largest internet service providers.

After a two-week countdown to an announcement that it said would "forever change the internet", the company unveiled what looked like an upgrade to its existing "core" router, called the CRS-1.

The new router offers 12 times more traffic capacity than its older-generation routers offer. It's three times faster than the older CRS-1, which was introduced in 2004. And it can handle 322TB of traffic per second, or simultaneous video calls for every person in China, the company said.
