Cisco Route Switch Processor with 180 G/slot upgradeable to 440G/slot Fabric

The Cisco® ASR 9000 Series Route Switch Processor 440 (RSP 440) is a main system processor for Cisco ASR 9000 Series. It supports scalable, low-power, next-generation platforms, as well as required by today's service provider networks.

Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers offer one of the industry's highest-capacity edge platforms, optimized for aggregation of dense 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections.

In addition to a higher capacity and scale, the Cisco ASR 9000 Series offers:

• Distributed forwarding and control planes for higher performance
• Network virtualization technology to provide excellent resilience and capacity expansion
• Modularized system components in both hardware and software, isolating failure and faults to subsystems and components
• Hardware-based signaling for the fabric, providing industry-leading resilience with zero packet loss on switchover
• Built-in redundancy in hardware components such as the route switch processor (RSP), switch fabric, control-plane chassis control bus, and power supplies, thereby avoiding a single point of failure
• Advanced network timing technologies support for precise frequency and time distribution throughout the network
• Extensive selection of time-division multiplexing (TDM) and Ethernet interfaces for flexible deployment in multiservice edge (MSE) and RAN aggregation environments with packet- and circuit-based transport
