ASR1k performance depends completely on the ESP card used. ESP cards come
with a number (e.g. ESP5 / ESP10 / ESP20, etc).  This number tells you how
much traffic the router can handle.  Specifically, the ASR1k operates using
centralised forwarding, and the number is a measure of how much traffic can
leave the central forwarding engine.  If you're handling just unicast
traffic, this will be the same as the ingress traffic.  If you're planning
on multicast, outbound multicast traffic counts towards this total.
