Chapter 3 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Embedded Services Processors
Cisco ASR 1000-ESP5
Routers. The Cisco ASR 1002-F Router includes a nonmodular, integrated embedded services processor
with a forwarding bandwidth (throughput) of 2.5 Gbps. The integrated embedded services processor of
the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router can provide a forwarding bandwidth of 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps, 20 Gbps, or 36
Gbps.
The Cisco ASR1000-ESP10-N is the nonencryption version of the Cisco ASR1000-ESP10. The Cisco
ASR1000-ESP10-N can only support noncrypto Cisco IOS software images. It does not support
encryption capabilities such as IPsec.
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers support the following Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services
Processors:

Note
The embedded services processor can be upgraded only on redundant embedded services processor
systems (Cisco ASR 1006 Router and Cisco ASR 1013 Router). The Cisco ASR 1002 router supports
only one Cisco ASR1000-ESP5 or ASR1000-ESP10. The Cisco ASR 1006 Router and Cisco ASR 1004
Router do not support the Cisco ASR1000-ESP5. When performing upgrades, the Cisco
ASR1000-ESP10, Cisco ASR1000-ESP20, and any future ESPs can be upgraded.
Note
Do not have different embedded services processors operating in the same chassis. The only time this
condition occurs is when you are performing an upgrade.
Cisco ASR 1000-ESP5
The Cisco ASR1000-ESP5 forwarding performance will vary depending on features configured. Up to
4 Mpps for the combination of the following commonly-used features: IPv4 forwarding, IP Multicast,
ACL, QoS, Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF), load balancing, and Sampled NetFlow.
Cisco ASR 1000-ESP10
The encryption capability of the 10 Gbps ESP is rated for 4 Gbps whereas the 5 Gbps ESP is rated for
1.8 Gbps and the 2.5 Gbps ESP is rated for 1.0 Gbps. The ASR1000-ESP10-N has the same performance
characteristics as the ASR1000-ESP10 but does not support encryption services.
The Cisco ASR1000-ESP10 supports the following forwarding engines:
•
Cisco ASR1002-ESP-F
•
Cisco ASR1000-ESP10
