ASR1000-ESP100 Cisco ASR 1000 Embedded Services Processor 100Gbps

Cisco ASR 1000 Embedded Services Processor 100Gbps Part Number: ASR1000-ESP100 The main engine of the ESP is the Cisco FP, the industry’s first programmable and application-aware network processor. The Cisco FP forms the overall hardware and software architecture of the ESP. It consolidates up to 256 customized packet-processor cores (900 MHz to 1.5 GHz) into a single processor. The parallel processing capability eliminates the need for additional service blades inside the router, because all processing is performed on the FP. As a result, the ESPs enable the ASR 1000s to support the following functions and features with high performance: ●   Forwarding, traffic management, and services ●   Large-scale parallel processing with centralized shared memory to achieve low-latency packet processing ●   High-performance deep-packet inspection (DPI) with full visibility into the entire Layer 2 frame, including payload ●   Rapid feature development with ANSI-C software development framework ●
