CUBESP-16KP-RED Use Case
Secure, Scalable Multi-Branch VPN on Cisco ASR 1000 with CUBESP-16KP-RED
Scenario: A global financial services firm must deploy encrypted IPsec tunnels across 300+ branch offices at sustained 10 Gbps throughput. By activating the CUBESP-16KP-RED license on Cisco ASR 1000, hardware-accelerated crypto engines support up to 16 000 simultaneous IPsec sessions without impacting routing performance. Outcome: 40 % CPU load reduction, guaranteed 10 Gbps end-to-end encryption, PCI DSS compliance and streamlined branch rollout.
High-Density MPLS L3VPN Aggregation for Service Providers
Scenario: A Tier 1 service provider must deliver SLA-backed MPLS L3VPN and GRE services to 2 000 enterprise customers with end-to-end encryption. Enabling CUBESP-16KP-RED on the Cisco ASR 1000 offloads both MPLS GRE and IPsec cryptography to dedicated silicon, supporting 16 000 tunnels at aggregate throughputs up to 20 Gbps. Outcome: 30 % CAPEX savings through platform consolidation, deterministic low-latency performance and 99.999 % service availability.
Secure IoT Edge Aggregation for Smart Grid Deployments
Scenario: A utility operator aggregates telemetry from 500 000 smart meters over encrypted DTLS/TLS tunnels to a central headend. The Cisco ASR 1000 with CUBESP-16KP-RED terminates up to 16 000 simultaneous sessions while maintaining sub-millisecond latency. Outcome: Real-time meter-reading, AES-256 encryption at line rate, simplified regulatory compliance and a high-availability edge security layer.
