The Cisco ASR 1000 Series includes Cisco IOS XE Software, a flexible OS designed to provide modular packaging, feature velocity, and powerful resiliency. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers are equipped with:
- Separation of the control and data planes
- Software redundancy on the Cisco ASR 1001, 1002, 1002-X, and 1004 Routers
- Hardware redundancy on the Cisco ASR 1006 and 1013 Routers
- Modular Cisco IOS XE Software to facilitate In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU)
- Scalable services embedded in the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor at wire speeds from 2.5 Gbps to 100 Gbps
Examples of some services include:
- Router security services (for example, encryption and firewall),
- Quality of service (QoS)
- Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC)
- Cisco IOS Flexible Packet Matching (FPM)
- Cisco Unified Border Element (SP Edition and Enterprise Edition)
