Cisco ASR 1002 Router Chassis

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 of the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor architecture.

The 5- 10- 10-N- 20- and 40-Gbps Cisco ASR 1000 Series ESPs (part numbers ASR1000-ESP5 ASR1000-ESP10 ASR1000-ESP10-N ASR1000-ESP20 and ASR1000-ESP40 respectively) provide five centralized forwarding-engine options for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. Additionally the Cisco ASR 1002 Fixed Router includes a nonmodular fixed ESP with throughput of 2.5 Gbps and the Cisco ASR 1001 Router comes with a nonmodular fixed ESP with throughput of 2.5 Gbps upgradable with a software-activated performance upgrade license to 5 Gbps.
