What is a Cisco ASR router?

The Cisco ASR (Aggregation Services Router) Series, manufactured by Cisco Systems, represents a line of routers primarily designed for service provider networks. Built on a Linux microkernel operating system, these routers provide performance, scalability, and resilient network services. Their architecture allows for efficient handling of substantial network traffic, making them suitable for demanding, high-capacity network environments.
