| Security | Cisco IOS XR security: Access control lists (ACLs), control-plane protection, routing authentication, AAA and TACACS+, SSH, SNMPv3, and RPL-based policy control. Layer 2 ACLs: Filters packets under an EVC based on MAC addresses. Layer 3 ACLs: Matches IPv4 packets on Layer 3 attributes. Additional security: 802.1ad L2CP and BPDU filtering, MAC limiting per EFP or bridge domain, unicast/multicast/broadcast storm control on any port, Unknown Unicast Flood Blocking (UUFB), DHCP snooping, URPF, control-plane security, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), and IP Source Guard (IPSG). |

IGMP v2 and v3 snooping: Layer 2 mechanism to track multicast membership at VLAN or pseudowire level, summarizing joins upstream and sending only watched channels downstream, ideal for residential broadband IPTV deployments. |
| MPLS L3VPN | MPLS L3VPN: Provides scalable IPv4 Layer 3 VPN backbone services for value-added services such as applications, hosting, e-commerce, and telephony. Carrier Supporting Carrier (CSC): Allows an MPLS VPN provider to interconnect isolated sites over another provider’s backbone while keeping private VPN address spaces, as per IETF RFC 4364. Selective VRF Download: Downloads VRF FIB entries only to line cards with VRF membership, increasing chassis FIB scale and avoiding unnecessary entries. 6PE and 6VPE: Introduces IPv6 from the edge over an IPv4/MPLS backbone without IPv6 addressing restrictions or impact on the existing IPv4 core. |

Hierarchical VPLS (HVPLS): Adds hierarchy at the VPLS edge for scale, supporting QinQ access and Ethernet over MPLS (pseudowire) access. Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) with EoMPLS: Transports Ethernet frames across an MPLS core using pseudowires for individual EFPs or entire ports. Pseudowire redundancy: Allows backup pseudowires to protect primary pseudowires. G.8032: Sub-50 ms protection for Ethernet traffic in ring topologies, compliant with ITU-T G.8032 v2 on Cisco ASR 9000 Series. Multisegment pseudowire stitching: Interworks two pseudowires to form a cross-connect. |
