### Instruction:
How does Cisco IOS XR provide process-level isolation and memory protection?
### Response:
Cisco IOS XR uses a microkernel architecture where most processes run in their own protected memory space. Each process has its own virtual address space that is not accessible by other processes. This prevents a memory corruption or crash in one process from impacting other processes or the kernel.
