Cisco Quantum Flow Processor. One of Cisco-developed network processors on the Cisco ASR1000-ESPs

R

RP

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1, route processor. General purpose CPU responsible for routing protocols, CLI, network management interfaces, code storage, logging, chassis management. The ASR 1000 Series RP1 processes network control packets as well as protocols not supported by the ASR 1000 Series ESP.

RPBase	The sub-package responsible for providing the operating system software for the Route Processor.
sub-package
RPControl	The sub-package responsible for providing the control plane processes between the IOS process and
sub-package	the rest of the router.
RPACCESS	The sub-package responsible for the processing of restricted components such as security features.
sub-package
RPAccess K9	ASR1000rp1-rpaccessk9.pkg. The crypto RPAccess image. This is the RPAccess sub-package in
	consolidated packages that support crypto.
RPIOS sub-packageThe sub-package responsible for storing and running Cisco IOS features.
RU	Rack Unit. A rack unit is 1.76 inches

S

SBC	Cisco Session border controller. The SBC is a session-aware device which controls access to voice over
	IP (VoIP) and other types of primarily media-related networks. The primary purpose of an SBC is to
	protect the interior of the network from excessive call load and malicious traffic. Cisco Session Border
	Controller protocol implementation performs the voice and video gateway functions simultaneously
	with regular IP data services.
SBE	Signaling border element. Represents the signaling agent of the SBC to handle all call processing
	through SIP or H.323 protocols and in general performs the call control functions. An SBE typically
	controls one or more media gateways.

Serial Link

SFP

SLA

SIP (SBC)

A single transmit and receive serial pair running initially at 1.25Gbits giving a payload of 1.0Gbits, with future scalability to 3.125 Gbits giving a payload of 2.5 Gbits.

Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers to provide network connectivity. An SFP module is a transceiver device that mounts into the front panel to provide network connectivity.

Service Level Agreement. The contract between a service provider and the customer that specifies the level of service provided.

Session initiation protocol. VoIP signaling protocol.
