Overview
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers are mid-range edge routers that establish a new
price-to-performance class offering benefits to both enterprise and service providers alike. The Cisco ASR
1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers portfolio is based on an innovative custom-built ASIC called
Quantum Flow Processor that aggregates services at scale.
The Cisco ASR 1001-HX Router and Cisco ASR 1002-HX Router are a part of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series
and offers a compact form factor that consumes less rack space and power while offering 100 Gbps forwarding
throughput. The Cisco ASR 1001-HX Router and Cisco ASR 1002-HX Router support all the general-purpose
routing and security features of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.
