    What Is ASR?: Who Should Use The ASR Series? Who Should Use The ISR Series? What Are The ASR Series Routers?

    Uploaded by

    Manish Shrivastava
    The document discusses and compares Cisco's ASR and ISR router series. The ASR series is designed for large enterprises and service providers, supporting up to 100G Ethernet and core routing capabilities. The ISR series is intended for small to medium businesses and branch offices, with lower maximum Ethernet speeds of 10G. While both provide secure WAN connectivity and cloud access, the ASR series has more features, higher performance, and is designed for large-scale applications compared to the ISR series for less intensive environments.

    What Is ASR?

    ASR stands for Aggregation Services Router. Routers in this series are used primarily for edge
    routing. They are ideal for high bandwidth applications, such as streaming audio or video, or
    video conferencing. The ASR 9000 Series has core routing capabilities as well. The ASR routers
    can all handle up to 100 G Ethernet.

    What Is ISR?
    ISR stands for Integrated Service Router. The term “integrated services” describes a type of
    network architecture used to guarantee network Quality of Service (QoS). ISR series routers
    have edge networking capabilities and provide reliable, secure branch office connectivity.
    Additional features include cloud computing, secure networking, multimedia performance, and
    mobile connectivity.

    Who Should Use the ASR Series?


    Cisco created the ASR series routers for large enterprises and service providers for network edge
    routing.

    Who Should Use the ISR Series?


    Cisco created the ISR series for small- to medium-sized businesses or for connecting branch
    offices.

    What Are the ASR Series Routers?


    The ASR series includes:

     ASR 900 Series


     ASR 1000 Series
     ASR 5000 Series
     ASR 9000 Series

    Cisco created the ASR 9000 series for communications carriers and service providers. The ASR
    1000 and ASR 900 Series were designed for large enterprises. The ASR 1000 is ideal for
    enterprises seeking network edge performance. And the ASR 900 provides a platform for
    modular metro aggregation, mobile pre-aggregation, and broadband aggregation.

    What Are the ISR Series Routers?


    The ISR series includes:

     ISR 800 Series


     ISR 1900 Series
     ISR 2900 Series
     ISR 3900 Series
     ISR 4000 Series

    Cisco designed the ISR series routers for less computing-intensive environments. Therefore, they
    have lower maximum Ethernet speeds. For example, the ISR 4000 supports up to 10 G Ethernet.
    The ISR series routers were all created for industry-leading network, compute, and WAN
    services.

    ASR and ISR Series Similarities


    The ASR and ISR series both offer secure WAN connectivity. They are also both approved to
    secure sensitive data using the PSN Interim IPsec Profile. The ASR 9000 series provides cloud
    access like all the ISR series; however, none of the other ASR series grant cloud access.

    ASR and ISR Series Differences


    As mentioned, the ASR series routers are for enterprises and service providers, whereas ISR
    series are for small- or medium-sized networks. Since the ISR series are for less computing-
    intensive environments, they have a much smaller footprint than the ASR series.

    Because the ASR series are for large-scale applications and large enterprises, they have more
    features and higher performance levels. For example, ASR routers can handle faster Ethernet, up
    to 100 G versus the 10 G capabilities of the ISR series.

    The ASR series also has a higher port density. Additionally, the ASR 9000 Series is the only
    router in either series that has core routing capabilities.
