H3C CR16000-M16 Router with Self-Developed Zhiqing 660 Chip for Cloud Networks

H3C CR16000-M16 Router Self-Developed Chip Intelligent SRv6 & High Reliability For Cloud Networks

The H3C CR16000-M16 is a next-generation cloud-optimized router designed for high-performance networking, featuring self-developed hardware, intelligent SRv6 routing, and carrier-grade reliability. As the first router powered by H3C’s in-house Zhiqing 660 NP chip, it delivers 41% lower power consumption at equivalent performance compared to previous generations while enabling rapid service deployment and AI-driven network optimization.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Self-Developed Zhiqing 660 Chip – Built on C-language programmability for faster service development, this NP chip enhances performance while reducing energy consumption by 20-30%.

2. Intelligent SRv6 & Network Slicing – Supports "one-hop-to-cloud" SRv6 for simplified cross-domain configurations and minute-level service provisioning. FlexE, sub-interface slicing, and Flex-Algo enable multi-level network segmentation for guaranteed QoS.

3. Carrier-Grade Reliability – Achieves microsecond-level latency stability (avg. 6μs jitter) with TI-LFA FRR and SRv6 loop prevention, ensuring uninterrupted operations for industrial and cloud applications.

4. Energy-Efficient Design – Features straight-through airflow cooling (40% higher airflow, 5°C lower temps) and low-power DDR/SerDes controllers for optimized thermal management.

5. AI-Driven Network Telemetry – Nanosecond-level delay/jitter detection and AD-WAN simulation for predictive maintenance and fault preemption.
