ASR1000-ESP10-N Use Case
High-Throughput Enterprise Branch Aggregation
Scenario: A global retail chain consolidates 500 branch offices into a single secure WAN fabric requiring 80 Gbps aggregated throughput with advanced QoS and DMVPN encryption. Outcome: The ASR1000-ESP10-N offloads IPsec at 10 Gbps per slot, delivers low-latency packet forwarding, scales bandwidth on demand, and reduces WAN OpEx by up to 40%, ensuring consistent application performance and simplified management.
Scalable Service-Provider Edge with MPLS and BGP
Scenario: A Tier 1 ISP needs to support 200k+ IPv4/IPv6 BGP routes, deliver MPLS L3VPN services, and maintain sub-millisecond convergence across multiple POPs. Outcome: The ASR1000-ESP10-N provides hardware-accelerated MPLS and BGP route processing, supports up to 250k routes, enables sub-second failover with BFD, and delivers carrier-grade 99.999% availability while streamlining operational workflows.
Secure Encrypted Data-Center Interconnect
Scenario: A global financial institution requires encrypted DCI tunnels across three data centers, sustaining 20 Gbps of IPsec throughput while meeting FIPS 140-2 and high-availability standards. Outcome: The ASR1000-ESP10-N’s integrated crypto engine offloads encryption at line rate, ensures hitless software upgrades, maintains sub-5ms latency, and drives regulatory compliance with a 30% reduction in encryption-related overhead.
