​​Introduction to pp-adv-isr1000-179.1a-46-65.0.0.pack Software​​

The ​​pp-adv-isr1000-179.1a-46-65.0.0.pack​​ protocol package delivers critical updates for Cisco ISR 1000 Series routers utilizing Next-Generation Application Recognition (NBAR2) technology. Released in Q4 2024, this advanced protocol pack enhances application visibility and control for enterprise networks requiring granular traffic classification aligned with Cisco’s 2024 Application Visibility and Control (AVC) Framework.

Compatible with ISR1100/ISR1100X models running IOS XE Amsterdam 17.9.x or later, this version (Build 65.0.0) introduces 47 new application signatures and optimizes Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) efficiency. The package supports QoS policy enforcement for SaaS applications and IoT device management – essential for SD-WAN deployments validated in Cisco’s 2024 ISR Series Design Guide.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​Application Recognition Enhancements​​
