▄ Cisco ASR 5000 Series Product Overview
Benefit
Provides layer 2 VPN connectivity.Simplified network configuration.Allows overlapping IP
addresses within the same context.
Provides subscriber billing based on data volume or session time.Mid-session account
balance updates.
Provides Robust Header Compression (ROHC) support for IP packets.
Provides a solution for unreachable (fire-walled) DNS servers in visited networks.
Allows for deep packet inspection to support enhanced/advanced billing techniquesImproved
subscriber awareness to more quickly identify usage trends and tailor content to subscriber's
patternsIncreased revenue opportunities through application of new services with no or
minimal processing degradation
Ensures maximum level of reliability and service availabilityAllows for installation and/or
co-location in central office facilities
Allows operator to support multiple enterprise and home networks from a single
systemAllows operators to assign duplicate/overlapping IP address ranges in different
contexts
Provides a solution for transferring light video and audio clips and also a suitable method for
mass communications to operator.It eliminates unnecessary replication of data on UMTS
wireless networks by transmitting a single stream of data to multiple users.
Eliminates processing bottlenecksIntelligently distributes processing across multiple system
processors for increased throughput
Recovers all fully established sessions upon single hardware or software failure for the
following call types:
ASN GW services supporting simple IP, Mobile IP, and Proxy Mobile IP
PDSN services supporting simple IP, Mobile IP, and Proxy Mobile IP
Closed RP PDSN services supporting simple IP, Mobile IP, and Proxy Mobile IP
HA services supporting Mobile IP and/or Proxy Mobile IP session types with or
without per-user Layer 3 tunnels
GGSN services for IPv4 and PPP PDP contextsLNS session types
Restores data and control packet state information, subscriber data statistics,
subscriber idle time and other timer-related data
Provides an in-service recovery mechanism to increase system availability and
overall fault tolerance without significant interruption of subscriber services and
without loss of accounting information.
This feature allows the HA to set up a UDP tunnel for an MN that is behind a NAT device.
Provides Gx and Gy interface support to implement IMS authorization in GPRS/UMTS
network. described in 3GPP Release 6 and 7.Provide sufficient, uninterrupted, consistent, and
seamless user experience to a roaming IMS subscriber for an application along with dynamic
charging functionality for the particular IMS application used.
