- Ideel til service providere og virksomheder, der ønsker suveræn ydelse med en kompakt formfaktor
- Gør det muligt at slå nuværende og fremtidige tjenester til øjeblikkeligt, uden at gå på kompromis med netværkets ydelse eller tilgængelighed, ved hjælp af den nyskabende Cisco QuantumFlow-processor
- Leverer sikre, højtydende og integrerede softwarebaserede tjenester (der kræves ingen ""service blades"")
- Sætter en ny pris/ydelses-klasse for edge-routere, der tilbyder integration af dels personlige og private tjenester og komplekse forretningstjenester
- Giver stor fleksibilitet med praktisk og omkostningsbesparende ISSU-funktion (In-Service Software Upgrade)
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Service Processors (ESPs) are based on the innovative, industry-leading Cisco QuantumFlow Processor for next-generation forwarding and queuing in silicon. These modules use the first generation of the hardware and software architecture known as Cisco QuantumFlow Processor.
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series ESPs are responsible for the data-plane processing tasks, and all network traffic flows through them. The modules perform all baseline packet routing operations, including MAC classification, layer 2 and layer 3 forwarding, quality-of-service (QoS) classification, policing and shaping, security access control lists (ACLs), VPNs, load balancing, and NetFlow. They are also responsible for features such as firewalls, intrusion prevention, Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR), Network Address Translation (NAT), and flexible pattern matching.
The 5-Gbps Cisco ASR 1000 Series ESP (ASR1000-ESP5) supports 5-Gbps bandwidth and is supported exclusively in combination with the Cisco ASR1002 Router chassis.
