(NEW) Cisco Aggregation Services Routers 1000 Series - ASR1006-20G-VPN/K9

Overview

The Cisco ASR1006-20G-VPN/K9 is a powerful router from the Cisco ASR 1000 Series, designed for high-throughput, secure VPN services, and WAN aggregation. With an aggregate throughput of up to 20 Gbps, it is ideal for large enterprises and service providers requiring advanced VPN, encryption, and WAN optimization capabilities. Powered by Cisco's QuantumFlow Processor (QFP), this model supports hardware-accelerated services like deep packet inspection, firewall, and VPN encryption. The modular design allows for future upgrades and flexibility to scale the router as network demands increase.
