Cisco ASR Routers XFP modules and functionality

Today I will talk about the XFP module which is used in the Cisco ASR/CSR routers basically. We have four different kind of XFP used and these are as below:
  • XFP10GLR-192SR-L
  • XFP-10G-MM-SR
  • XFP10GER-192IR-L
  • XFP-10GZR-OC192LR
Let's talk all these XFP one by one as below, starting from XFP10GLR-192SR-L. Below is the table showing the basic information
