This document describes the Route Switch Processor (RSP16), an optional system processor for the
Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, and Cisco 7513-MX routers. The RSP16 increases the
performance and memory support for large route tables over the RSP4+ and RSP8.
Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, and Cisco 7513-MX routers. The RSP16 increases the
performance and memory support for large route tables over the RSP4+ and RSP8.
The RSP16 supports the high system availability (HSA) feature, which allows two RSP16s (or an RSP16
and an RSP8) to be used in a Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, or Cisco 7513-MX router. The
redundancy increases system availability during planned and unplanned network outages. See the

The RSP16 also supports high availability (HA), a series of features that operates similarly to HSA, but
which further minimizes system downtime. (HSA is the system default.) For more information on HA,
