Network switch and routing hardware in carrier networks is almost always modular, and almost always tied to a software release. A line card that is nominally compatible with a chassis will fail to commission if the release running on it predates the card, and that dependency is where most procurement time in this category is lost. This section covers Huawei NE40E and CX600, Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia 7750 SR, Cisco Catalyst and 12000-series, ZTE ZXR10 and Ericsson SmartEdge and SSR hardware, at chassis and card level.
