Route Switch Processor Card

The Route Switch Processor (RSP) card is the main control and switch fabric element in the
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. The RSP card provides system control, packet switching, and timing
control for the system.
To provide redundancy, there can be two RSP cards in the system, one as the active control RSP and the
other as the standby RSP. The standby RSP takes over all control functions should the active RSP fail.
