The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processors (ESPs) handle all the network data-plane trafficprocessing tasks of Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. These ESPs allow the activation of concurrent enhanced network services, such as cryptography, firewall, Network Address Translation (NAT), quality of service (QoS), NetFlow, and many others while maintaining line speeds.
