Performance highlights of the 20- and 40-Gbps ESPs include hardware-assisted policing; encryption capability of 8
and 11 Gbps, respectively; and special jitter- and latency-minimizing multicast packet replication. The encryption
capability of the 10-Gbps ESP is rated for 4 Gbps, whereas the 5-Gbps ESP as well as the integrated ESP on the
Cisco ASR 1001 chassis is rated for 1.8 Gbps and the 2.5-Gbps ESP integrated on the Cisco ASR1002-F chassis is
rated for 1.0 Gbps. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series 10-N-Gbps ESP has the same performance characteristics as the
Cisco ASR 1000 Series 10-Gbps ESP but does not support encryption services.

Applications
The Cisco 2.5-, 5-, 10-, 10-N-, 20-, and 40-Gbps ESPs facilitate the following solutions:
●
Service provider broadband: The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router serves as a broadband aggregation router
that terminates up to 32,000 subscriber sessions and supports features such as Session Border Controller
(SBC) (formally known as Cisco Unified Border Element (SP Edition)) for voice over IP (VoIP) and video (for
example, Cisco TelePresence
™
communications systems) services and hardware-assisted per-user firewall
for security.
●
Service provider edge (PE): The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router interfaces with service provider-provisioned
voice and multimedia (for example, Cisco TelePresence communications systems) services directly at the
edge. No overlay network, network appliances, or service blades are required in this solution for lower
operating expenses (OpEx) and flexible deployment models. This router supports protected signaling for both
voice and video services and facilitates 32,000 voice calls concurrent with 40 Gbps of data traffic with
accounting, firewall, and call-quality features enabled.
●
Service provider-managed customer premise equipment (CPE): The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router
serves as a WAN aggregation router with high-density Gigabit Ethernet or WAN link aggregation and 10-
Gigabit Ethernet uplink capability. Key benefits are Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN functions and line-rate IP
Multicast support for triple-play (data, voice, and video) deployments
●
Enterprise WAN aggregation: The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router at the WAN aggregation headend
facilitates a branch-office architecture that offers excellent investment protection with services and scale.
Solution benefits consist of a multigigabit encryption rate (up to 11-Gbps IP Security [IPsec]), and
optimization of the WAN to route around brownouts in the service provider network to guarantee mission-
critical applications. (Please note that this product includes software developed by Cavium Networks.) The
Cisco ASR 1000 Series 10-N-Gbps ESP supports all of the described sevices except for IPsec encryption.
●
Enterprise Internet gateway: The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router as an Internet gateway delivers
multigigabit Cisco IOS Firewall capability in a router without the need for service blades. All firewall
processing is performed in silicon by the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor at up to 2.5, 5, 10, 20, or 40 Gbps. In
addition, the router provides high-speed logging through Sampled NetFlow Version 9 and ongoing forwarding
with baseline and firewall features enabled.
