Cisco ASR 1000 Series Shared Port Adapter and
SPA Interface Processor Support

Product Overview

The Cisco

Interface Flexibility (I-Flex) design combines shared port adapters (SPAs) and SPA interface

processors (SIPs), taking advantage of an extensible design that facilitates service prioritization for voice, video,

and data services. SPAs provide the physical interfaces for router connectivity ranging from copper, Channelized,

Packet over SONET/SDH (PoS), ATM, and Ethernet. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series SIP provides the physical

termination for the SPAs and accepts up to four half-height and two full-height Cisco SPAs. Enterprise and service

provider customers can take advantage of improved slot economics resulting from modular port adapters that are

interchangeable across Cisco routing platforms. The I-Flex design maximizes connectivity options and offers

powerful service intelligence through programmable interface processors that deliver line-rate performance. I-Flex

enhances speed-to-service revenue and provides a rich set of quality-of-service (QoS) features for premium

service delivery while effectively reducing the overall cost of ownership. Figure 1 shows a sample of the wide range

of SPAs supported on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series, and Figure 2 shows the Cisco WebEx

Node for the Cisco ASR

1000 Series. Figure 3 shows the Cisco ASR 1000 Series SIP.

Modular port adapters and programmable interface processors, which are interchangeable across Cisco carrier

routing platforms, help enterprise and service provider companies protect network investments and reduce total

cost of ownership. The Cisco SPA/SIP portfolio offers a rich set of quality-of-service (QoS) features for premium

service delivery.
