whitepaper Cisco ASR 1000 Series IPsec2008-02-01 Cisco Systems

Therefore, in general, features such as IP Security (IPsec), Firewall, and Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR) are incorporated directly into the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processor (ESP) containing the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor rather than offered as optional pluggable modules or Shared Port Adapters (SPAs). In addition, security features are expected to operate at multigigabit performance levels.
