Control plane and data plane elements. The Cisco Route Switch Processor (RSP) is the powerful centralized engine that provides these features and more for Cisco routers. The Cisco RSP is designed to address the requirements of converged service provider networks - from Carrier Ethernet technologies to advanced services such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). It helps providers add innovative traffic management and intelligent packet switching and routing features.
The Cisco RSP module contains separate control plane and data plane components. These include the main control plane CPU for the operating system and platform control software. The data plane packet processing and traffic management is performed by the Cisco Carrier Ethernet application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

Service enhancement
With Cisco ASR 900 Series routers, each service is assigned enhanced QoS and security attributes. The router provides advanced per-traffic-class metering and offers bidirectional packet count and byte count statistics.
-
Service scale
The Cisco ASR 900 Series delivers flexible service scalability in a small footprint. The routers deliver high performance and high scale for point-to-point and multipoint VPN services. The HQoS capabilities of the Cisco ASR 900 Series scale to eight queues per service, three levels of scheduling, and buffer sizes capable of accommodating today's most demanding wireline and wireless applications.
