The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Interface Processor (ASR1000-MIP100) is a full-duplex 100-Gbps modular Ethernet line card that is capable of hosting up to two Cisco ASR 1000 Series Ethernet Port Adapters (EPAs). EPAs are new interface cards that introduce 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to the Cisco ASR 1000 series. Much like the fixed Ethernet line cards, the modular interface processors with EPAs offer the same feature parity and functionality as the SPA interface processor and SPA combination.
