Glossary
IP address on the SBE or DBE used for terminating the H.248 control traffic between SBE and SBE.
Control address
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series embedded service processors are based on the Cisco QuantumFlow
Cisco ASR1000
embedded services
Processor for next-generation forwarding and queuing in silicon.
processor
The embedded services processors are responsible for the data-plane processing tasks and all network
traffic flows through them. They are also responsible for features such as firewalls, intrusion
prevention, Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR), and Network Address Translation
(NAT).
The Cisco ASR Router is a 6-rack unit (RU) chassis. It has the option of dual route processor and
Cisco ASR 1006
Router
embedded services processor support with 10 Gbps throughput support. It also supports up to 12 shared
port adapters (SPAs), which makes it the highest port density solution of the three Cisco ASR 1000
Series Routers.
The Cisco ASR 1004 Router is a 4-rack unit (RU) chassis that supports up to 8 shared port adapters
Cisco ASR 1004
(SPAs) and comes with one route processor and one embedded services processor slot. The Cisco ASR
Router
1004 Router provides 10 Gbps throughput support.
The Cisco ASR 1002 Router is a 2-rack unit (RU) chassis that comes with an integrated route processor
Cisco ASR 1002
and a serial interface processor. It houses three shared port adapter (SPA) slots supporting half height
Router
and full height SPAs. Configurable with either the 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps embedded services processor and
four built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports.
The Cisco ASR 1002-F Router is a 2-rack unit (RU) chassis that comes with an integrated route
Cisco ASR 1002-F
processor (Cisco ASR1002-RP1) and a SPA interface processor (Cisco ASR1002-SIP10-F). It supports
Router
one half-height SPA slot.
The Cisco ASR 1013 Router can hold 6 SIPs and provides superslots (more height and power) for the
Cisco ASR 1013
RP and ESP P cards. The overall height is 13RU, to allow 3 in a 600mm rack + 3RU left over for other
Router
equipment.
