(NEW) Cisco Aggregation Services Routers 1000 Series - ASR1000-ESP5

Overview

The Cisco ASR1000-ESP5 is part of the Embedded Services Processor (ESP) family designed for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. The ESP is responsible for forwarding plane operations, managing data traffic, and applying security and Quality of Service (QoS) policies at high speeds. The ASR1000-ESP5 delivers 5 Gbps of forwarding throughput, making it suitable for smaller deployments that require efficient packet handling with scalability in mind.
