Hi Curtis, All packets hit the ESP, they are the backbone of the ASR1000. Just like the RSP in the ASR9000 and the SCB in the J-MX, etc. etc. Did a quick Google, there are a couple of useful pictures and words on this page, though others may have links to better docs/training materials. I used to have some someplace but use ASR9000s almost exclusively these days if I’m doing Cisco, and have misplaced them.. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/routers/asr-1000-series-aggregation-services-routers/110531-asr-packet-drop.html <http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/routers/asr-1000-series-aggregation-services-routers/110531-asr-packet-drop.html> -- Nathan Ward _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
