b'Cisco\\u2019s 8000 Series Router changed the game in high end routers, largely thanks to the Silicon One ASIC. It also introduced to the industry some of the first 400G ports along with Cisco\\u2019s QSFP-DD form factor pluggable optics. In Episode 30, we continue our conversation with Ammar Khan, Product Management Leader for the 8000 Series Router. In this episode we learn about the 8000 router\\u2019s innovation outside of the Silicon One ASIC. \\u2013 Pat Chou, Cisco Optics Product Manager \\n\\nAmmar received his BSEE at the University of Oklahoma and an MBA from Santa Clara University. He started his career as member of technical staff at an ASIC emulation start-up, where he worked on cutting edge ASIC and FPGA designs. His first foray into networking system design was at another startup based out of Massachusetts. He then moved to Broadcom through the company\\u2019s acquisition and launched and managed products with over $250M in revenue. In 2010 he moved to Ericsson\\u2019s IP Division and defined their edge router line with an annual revenue of over $150M.
