FLASR1-AVC-RTU

Description

The Cisco FLASR1-AVC-RTU is an Application Visibility and Control (AVC) Right-To-Use (RTU) feature license designed for the Cisco ASR 1000 series aggregation services routers. This license unlocks advanced application-level visibility and control capabilities embedded in the Cisco QuantumFlow processor, enabling service providers and enterprises to optimize network performance, enforce QoS policies, and gain insights into application usage without additional hardware.

Key Benefits of FLASR1-AVC-RTU on ASR 1000 Series

• Provides deep packet inspection via Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) and Cisco IOS Flexible Packet Matching (FPM) for real-time application identification and classification.
• Supports modular QoS CLI (MQC) policies across VLANs or channels, creating virtual bandwidth limits for low-priority applications to guarantee high-priority traffic.
• Integrates with embedded services like security (encryption, firewall), QoS, and Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE SP edition) for comprehensive WAN edge solutions.
• Scales performance from 2.5 Gbps to 100 Gbps depending on the Embedded Service Processor (ESP), with hardware and software redundancy for high availability.
• Facilitates innovations in secure WAN aggregation, hosted CPE services, and service provider edge deployments, reducing OpEx and CapEx through unified architecture.

ASR 1000 Series Platform Overview

Cisco ASR 1000 series routers, powered by the innovative Cisco QuantumFlow processor, deliver 10x performance improvements over previous midrange solutions. Models include ASR 1001 (1RU), ASR 1002 Fixed, ASR 1002, ASR 1002-X (2RU), ASR 1004 (4RU), ASR 1006 (6RU), and ASR 1013 (13RU). They separate control and data planes for software redundancy (ASR 1001, 1002 Fixed, 1002, 1002-X, 1004) and hardware redundancy (ASR 1006, 1013), with In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) support via modular Cisco IOS XE.

The series supports embedded services including Zone-Based Policy Firewall, IPsec VPN (up to 25 Gbps encryption on ESP100), QoS with 232,000 queues, IPv4/IPv6, multicast, and more. ASR 1001 introduces Integrated Daughter Cards (IDC) options like ASR1001-2XOC3POS (2 OC-3 PoS), ASR1001-4XT3 (4 T3), ASR1001-4X1GE (4 GE), ASR1001-8XCHT1E1 (8 T1/E1), ASR1001-HDD.

Enterprise Applications

• Superior application availability at WAN edge: Modular QoS for hierarchical policies, 232,000 queues, priority propagation.
• Multi-service scalable secure headend: IPsec VPN aggregation for thousands of sites, 8000 tunnels, up to 25 Gbps encryption.
• Embedded high-speed firewall: Zone-Based Policy Firewall up to 100 Gbps, 40,000 sessions/sec NetFlow v9 export.

Service Provider Applications

• Hosted CPE: Software redundancy, WAN optimization, firewall/NAT up to 100 Gbps, encryption 1.8-25 Gbps.
• Broadband L2TP LAC/LNS: Up to 64,000 users/sessions, per-user firewall/SBC.
• L3VPN Provider Edge: 8,000 VRFs, 1M LDP labels, 4,000 ACLs, 4M IPv4/IPv6 routes.
• High-end Route Reflector: 29M IPv4 routes, 64,000 Layer 3 adjacencies, BGP support.
• Next-Gen Voice/Multimedia with CUBE (SP): 32,000 calls, 40 Gbps media, security/QoS/IPv4v6.

Cisco IOS XE Software Integration

Cisco IOS XE supports dual IOS instances for software redundancy on select models. Feature packs include IP Base, Advanced IP Services, Advanced Enterprise Services (with/without encryption). AVC license complements security (IPsec, Firewall, FPI), broadband (BB-RTU, session scales 4K-64K), CUBE (250P-32KP calls), and more. Sub-packages: RPBase, RPControl, RPAccess (K9/non-K9), RPIOS, ESPBase, SIPSPA, SIPBase.
