The embedded services processor consists of a front panel label for indicator and control functions. The
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processor model number labeling is located next to the left
card module handle. The module also contains card handles to assist in insertion or removal of the
module. There are no front panel interfaces on the Cisco ASR1000-ESP modules.
Figure 3-3
displays the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processor LEDS on the front panel.

While both the Cisco ASR1000-ESP40 and ASR1000-ESP20 exceed the 16 Mpps forwarding rate, the ESP40 packets per second rate is slightly less than
ESP20 when sending continuous stream of small, 64-byte packets. However, at 92 bytes and larger, the ASR1000-ESP40 outperforms ESP20. The
difference at small packet sizes is a side-effect of optimizations made to achieve 40 Gbps for medium to large packets.
