Chapter 1 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Hardware Overview
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router Features
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers use the powerful Cisco QuantumFlow Processor which provides
performance and resiliency for network processors.
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers deliver multiple services embedded in the Cisco QuantumFlow
Processor. The services supported on the Cisco Packet QuantumFlow Processor include security services
(for example, encryption and firewall), quality of service (QoS), Network Based Application
Recognition (NBAR), broadband aggregation, and session border controller, among others.
