M-ASR1K-RP2-16GB Use Case
Scalable Service Provider Routing and Peering
A Tier-1 carrier upgrades its edge routers to Cisco ASR 1000 Series equipped with M-ASR1K-RP2-16GB memory to sustain growing BGP/MPLS peering and support over one million route prefixes. The expanded RP memory accelerates route lookup, slashes convergence time during failovers, and maintains line-rate forwarding, ensuring carrier-grade uptime and predictable SLAs.
High-Density Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
A telecom operator leverages Cisco ASR 1000 with M-ASR1K-RP2-16GB memory as a universal CPE platform hosting multiple virtual network functions—firewall, VPN, WAN optimization—simultaneously. The ample 16 GB RP memory allows high VNF instance density and dynamic resource allocation, driving service agility, reducing hardware sprawl, and lowering total cost of ownership.
Optimized Edge Video Streaming and Content Delivery
A global content delivery network deploys Cisco ASR 1000 routers with M-ASR1K-RP2-16GB memory at regional PoPs to cache and stream high-definition and 4K video. The enhanced RP memory handles massively parallel HTTP sessions and QoS policies, minimizing buffering, boosting throughput under peak viewership, and elevating end-user quality of experience.
