PRP-3 is the next-generation route processor for the Cisco XR 124xx and 128xx Router chassis running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.0 or a later release. The PRP-3 is available as product number PRP-3 or PRP-3= for a primary route processor and is available as PRP-3/R for a redundant route processor. PRP-3 has significant improvements over PRP-2. These improvements include increased speed, improved scalability, higher system memory, faster packet processing. Because PRP-3 does not support Cisco IOS Software, the bootflash memory no longer exists in PRP-3. PRP-3 ROMMON has software intelligence to download a Cisco IOS XR image without the support of bootflash memory.
