The Cisco ASR 1000 Series consists of six different versions: the Cisco ASR 1001 Router, the Cisco ASR 1002 Router, the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router, the Cisco ASR 1004 Router, the Cisco ASR 1006 Router, and the Cisco ASR 1013 Router. All six models use the innovative and powerful Cisco QuantumFlow Processor (QFP), which provides a huge leap in performance and resiliency for network processors. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series delivers multiple services embedded in the Cisco QFP at wire speeds from 2.5 to 100 Gbps. The services supported on the Cisco QFP include security services (for example, encryption and firewall), quality of service (QoS), Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR), Cisco IOS Flexible Packet Matching (FPM), broadband aggregation, and Cisco Unified Border Element (SP Edition) (formerly called Session Border Controller, or SBC), among others. |
