The Cisco^®ASR 9000 Series Route Switch Processor 5 (ASR 9000 RSP5) is the next-generation system processor for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers. It supports high-density 100 and 400 Gigabit Ethernet line cards and provides backward compatibility with the Cisco ASR 9000 Series third generation family of line cards. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series RSP5 system architecture is designed to accommodate new programmable deployment models and convergence of Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, as required by today's wireline, Data-Center-Interconnect (DCI), and mobile aggregation applications.

The ASR 9000 Series RSP5 brings the time-tested and robust carrier-class capabilities of Cisco IOS^®XR Software to the Carrier Ethernet edge. The operating system supports true software process modularity. It also allows each process to run in separate protected memory, including each routing protocol, along with multiple instances of control, data, and management planes supported. The software also supports distributed route processing.
