Product Series: Embedded Services Processor (ESP) 10 Gbps
Product Type: Processing Module (for ASR1000 series)
Product Name: Cisco ASR1000 ESP10 10Gbps Module

KEY FEATURES:

Throughput Capacity: 10 Gbps data‑plane processing

Crypto Support: Hardware encryption acceleration (up to ~4 Gbps of crypto throughput)

Onboard Memory: 2 GB DRAM (typical for this variant)

Platform Integration: Designed to plug into compatible ASR1000 Series chassis (e.g., ASR1002, ASR1004, ASR1006)

Hot‑Swap/Field‑Replaceable Support: Yes (in supported chassis)

Rich Services: Supports advanced forwarding, QoS, NetFlow, NAT, firewalling at line rate

PERFORMANCE:

Maximum Data Rate: ~10 Gbps (aggregate throughput)

Packet‑Processing Engine: Cisco “QuantumFlow” Processor architecture enabling large‑scale parallel processing

Crypto Throughput (hardware): up to ~4 Gbps when encryption services are enabled

Typical Platform Memory Requirement: Uses 2 GB DRAM for full performance of 10 Gbps variant

ENVIRONMENTAL & RELIABILITY:

Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 40 °C

Storage Temperature: ‑40 °C to 70 °C

Operating Humidity: ~5% to 85% non‑condensing

Built for high‑availability networking: Supports Online Insertion and Removal (OIR), Non‑Stop Forwarding (NSF), and Stateful Switchover (SSO) in compatible chassis

PHYSICAL:

Form Factor: Module form‑factor for ASR1000 Series chassis slot

Typical Dimensions: Module size as defined by the ASR1000 chassis slot specification (refer to chassis guide)

Weight: Lightweight module appropriate for service‑processor slot

COMPATIBILITY & NOTES:

Compatible Devices: Cisco ASR1000 Series routers such as ASR1002, ASR1004, ASR1006 (must check chassis slot and license support)

Software/Firmware Requirements: Requires Cisco IOS XE release (minimum version ~2.1 or later) for full 10‑Gbps ESP support

Crypto Note: The ESP10 variant includes hardware encryption acceleration — if you require non‑crypto you must use the “‑N” variant (ASR1000‑ESP10‑N)

When purchasing refurbished: verify module condition, ensure firmware version is compatible, confirm that chassis slot supports this model and confirm any license/throughput features required
