The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP) is a scalable, low-power, carrier Ethernet platform with a system architecture specifically designed to accommodate service providers' unique convergence requirements of Layer 2 Ethernet transport plus Layer 3 services.
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP) is designed to deliver the high scalability, performance, and fast convergence required for demanding video, cloud, and mobile services.
-
Dual RSP to provide an active-active switch fabric
It offers traffic load balancing simultaneously across both fabrics and offers highly available system where loss of one RSP allows for unimpeded performance per slot.
-
Distributed forwarding plane architecture
It allows line cards to support independent forwarding for enhanced performance and scale.
-
Virtual output queuing and arbitration
It offers service intelligence with prioritization of traffic and provides efficient congestion management mechanism and avoids problems related to head-of-line blocking.
-
Centralized arbiter
It uses an efficient credit mechanism to help ensure transparent switchover with zero packet loss.
-
Front-panel LEDs
It provides visual indication of RSP status, power management, and activity on compact flash and HDD.
