What is the impact of RSP reload on the switch fabric on the ASR 9000 Series?

A.
None the switch fabric resides on dedicated fabric cards and the reload of a separate RSP card has
no impact.

B.
Interruption of service the switch fabric resides on the same card as RSP and the reload of the
card will cause packet loss.

C.
Performance degradation. The switch fabric resides on the same card as RSP and the reload will
stop it. However, having a redundant RSP installed means that all traffic will be redirected to another
RSP and this will halve the throughput rate, but not cause any disruption.

D.
None the switch fabric resides on the same physical card as RSP, but the circuits are independent.
