AP article explaining core routers and the announcement of Cisco's CRS-3 router.

Routers play an important role as the Internet's traffic cops, shunting packets of data to their destinations.

The CRS-3 will be available in the third quarter and sell for $90,000 and up. Cisco has invested $1.6 billion in developing the CRS family, said Pankaj Patel, senior vice president and general manager of Cisco's Service Provider Group. He spoke on a webcast with analysts and press.
