Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers provide a high-performance, service-rich edge solution for enterprises and service providers. Powered by the modular Cisco IOS XE software, these routers deliver exceptional reliability and speed, enabling the convergence of data, voice, and video traffic into a single secure infrastructure.

At the heart of the ASR 1000 is the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor (QFP), the industry’s first fully programmable internal processor designed specifically for edge services. This allows for wire-speed performance across various features like integrated security (IPsec VPN, firewall), sophisticated Quality of Service (QoS), and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI). The ASR 1000 series reduces network complexity and total cost of ownership by eliminating the need for separate appliances for different network tasks.
