The 0 ASR 1000 Series consists of nine platforms:

   0 ASR 1001-X Router

   0 ASR 1001-HX Router

   0 ASR 1002-HX Router

   0 ASR 1002-X Router

   0 ASR 1004 Router

   0 ASR 1006 Router

   0 ASR 1006-X Router

   0 ASR 1009-X Router

   0 ASR 1013 Router

The 0 ASR 1000 Series delivers multiple services embedded in the 0 QuantumFlow Processor^™ at wire speeds from 2.5 to 200 Gbps. The services supported on the 0 QuantumFlow Processor include security services (for example, up to 78-Gbps [78G] encryption throughput and up to 6M firewall sessions), quality of service (QoS), Application Visibility and Control (AVC), 0 Performance Routing (PfR), broadband aggregation, 0 Unified Border Element (SP Edition), and 0 Unified Border Element (Enterprise Edition). Additionally, the 0 ASR 1000 offers feature-rich scalable Data Center Interconnect (DCI) solutions that include 0 Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV) and Virtual Private Label Switching (VPL) to connect geographically dispersed data centers. Advanced routing techniques such as the Locator Identity Separation Protocol (LISP) allow host mobility within and across subnets.

With separation of the control and data planes in the 0 ASR 1000 Series Router architecture, software redundancy (on the 0 ASR 1001-X, ASR 1001-HX, ASR 1002-HX, ASR 1002-X, and ASR 1004 Routers), and hardware redundancy (on the 0 ASR 1006, ASR 1006-X, ASR 1009-X, and ASR 1013 Routers), the highly reliable 0 ASR 1000 Series demonstrates a consistently high throughput, even when new services are added. Additionally, the modular 0 IOS XE Software that is introduced with the 0 ASR 1000 Series facilitates In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) on the ASR 1006, ASR 1006-X, ASR 1009-X, and ASR 1013 models.
