Module description

Cisco has reinvented edge routing with the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. The ASR 1000 Series consists of three different versions: the ASR 1002, the ASR 1004, and the ASR 1006 Router. All three models use the innovative and powerful Cisco QuantumFlow Processor, which provides a huge leap in performance and resiliency for network processors. The Cisco ASR 1000 delivers multiple services embedded in the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor at wire speeds of up to 20 Gbps. The ASR 1000 architecture supports both software redundancy and hardware redundancy (ASR 1006) capabilities.
