About the Cisco ASR 9000 A9K-RSP440 TR Cisco ASR 9000 carrier router
The Cisco ASR 9000 A9K-RSP440 TR Route Switch Processor delivers carrier-grade high availability through 1+1 RSP redundancy with active/standby operation, enabling Stateful Switchover (SSO), Non-Stop Routing (NSR), and Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF) to maintain service continuity during failover events. This hot-swappable RSP blade operates on Cisco IOS XR and combines a 440 Gbps system forwarding capacity per RSP slot with the Typhoon forwarding ASIC generation, making it suitable for demanding carrier and enterprise backbone deployments. The module supports the Cisco ASR 9906, ASR 9910, ASR 9912, and ASR 9922 chassis platforms and integrates In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) capabilities to enable non-disruptive network updates.
Network engineers and IT procurement teams deploying large-scale carrier networks select the A9K-RSP440 TR for its comprehensive routing protocol support—including OSPFv2/v3, IS-IS, BGP-4, RIPv2, EIGRP, MPLS-TE (RSVP-TE), and modern Segment Routing (SR-MPLS and SRv6)—combined with multicast capabilities via PIM-SM, PIM-SSM, MLDP, and mVPN. The processor's model-driven telemetry (gRPC/gNMI), YANG data models, NETCONF, and RESTCONF support enable seamless integration with modern SDN and automation frameworks. Hierarchical QoS (H-QoS) with traffic classification, policing, shaping, and queuing ensure service quality across diverse workloads, while OAM standards compliance (IEEE 802.3ah, ITU-T Y.1731, and IEEE 1588v2 PTP) supports operational visibility and timing precision. NEBS Level 3, ETSI, and RoHS compliance meet global regulatory requirements.
Management is simplified through dedicated console and Ethernet (RJ-45) interfaces, enabling both out-of-band and in-band control. Omnixon Global supplies the Cisco A9K-RSP440 TR to enterprises and service providers across the UAE and GCC region.
