Cisco ASR 9000 12-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet line cards deliver industry-leading high density and line-rate 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports to any slot of a Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router. These high-capacity line cards provide carrier-class reliability and are designed to remove bandwidth bottlenecks in the network that are caused by a large increase in video on demand (VoD), IPTV, point-to-point video, Internet video, and cloud services traffic. A single 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) port can now replace large 10 Gigabit Ethernet link aggregation bundles to simplify network operations. These 12-port 100 Gigabit line cards use 100G Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable (QSFP) optics. They also provide the flexibility to break 100-GE ports into four 10-GE channels for dense, 48 10-GE channels per line card.
Cisco A903-RSP1B-55 is the Cisco ASR 903 Route Switch Processor. Cisco ASR 900 Series RSP modules contain separate control plane and data plane components. These include the main control plane CPU for the Cisco IOS Software operating system and platform control software. The data-plane packet processing and traffic management is performed by the Carrier Ethernet application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
