High-performance CCR2216-1G-12XS-2XQ router CCR2216-1G-12XS-2XQ is a high-performance 14-port router for 100 gigabit networks with hardware L3 offload. This is the perfect upgrade for CCR1072 users. You can continue to use your SFP modules and power supplies while upgrading your network to faster speeds. AL73400 16-core processor The MikroTik CCR2216-1G-12XS-2XQ router is based on the 2 GHz 16-core AL73400 processor, which thanks to L3HW can match the 72-core Tile processor of the previous flagship, CCR1072. 25 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s ports The router has 2 QSFP28 ports for 100Gbps connections, 12 SFP28 ports for 25Gbps network connections and one Gigabit Ethernet port. The device is equipped with 16 GB RAM, 128 MB NAND memory and two M.2 SATA slots for additional memory. CCR2216-1G-12XS-2XQ also has 4 fans and two redundant, hot-swappable power supplies. The power supplies are the same as those used in CCR1072. L3 Hardware Offloading L3HW hardware offloading, also known as IP switching or hardware routing, allows some router functionality to be offloaded to the switch chip. This allows you to achieve speeds in packet routing that would simply not be possible using a CPU. Marvell Prestera Aldrin2 The exclusive Marvell Prestera Aldrin2 switch layout truly takes the CCR2216-1G-12XS-2XQ to the next level with hardware L3 offloading. The previous CCR2116 had a switch chip with four lines connecting the 10G processor, while the new model has four 25G lines.
