(NEW) Cisco Aggregation Services Routers 1000 Series - ASR1000-ESP20

Overview

The Cisco ASR1000-ESP20 is an Embedded Services Processor (ESP) designed for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. It is responsible for managing the data plane operations, forwarding packets, and providing advanced network services like QoS (Quality of Service) and security at higher speeds. The ASR1000-ESP20 offers a throughput of 20 Gbps, making it ideal for medium to large-scale network environments that require high-speed data processing, scalability, and enhanced services.

Specs

Model:

• Cisco ASR1000-ESP20 (Embedded Services Processor 20 Gbps)

Key Features:

• Forwarding Throughput:

  • Provides up to 20 Gbps of traffic throughput, suitable for medium to large enterprises or service provider networks.
