​​Introduction to pp-adv-isr1100-173.1a-40-52.0.0.pack Software​​

The ​​pp-adv-isr1100-173.1a-40-52.0.0.pack​​ software package delivers critical SD-WAN service enhancements for Cisco ISR 1100 Series routers operating in enterprise edge environments. Designed as part of the IOS XE 17.3.1a software train, this release specifically addresses CVE-2025-20188 vulnerabilities while introducing hardware-assisted encryption optimizations for high-density VPN deployments.

Compatible with ​​ISR1100-4G/6G/4GLTE​​ and ​​ISR1100X-4G/6G​​ platforms, this package extends Cisco’s Application Visibility and Control (AVC) capabilities with 40% throughput improvements for encrypted traffic. Based on Cisco’s official deployment logs, this build was released on March 15, 2025, to align with updated SD-WAN architecture requirements.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​SD-WAN Performance Optimizations​​

  • 40% throughput increase for IPsec VPN tunnels (up to 1,889 Mbps on ISR1100X-6G)
  • Dynamic path selection for hybrid 5G/LTE WAN links with sub-2ms failover
  • Extended BGP-LS telemetry support for real-time network intent validation

​​Security Enhancements​​

  • TLS 1.3 enforcement for all control plane communications
  • Integrated Cisco Umbrella SIGv3 threat intelligence feeds
  • Hardware-accelerated AES-256-GCM encryption for VPN tunnels

​​Advanced Protocol Support​​

  • Precision Time Protocol (PTP) v2.1 compliance for industrial IoT networks
  • Enhanced NAT management with CPU-based entry limits (ip nat translation max-entries cpu)
  • RFC 8325-compliant QoS policies for deterministic traffic shaping

​​Compatibility and Requirements​​

​​Component​​ ​​Supported Models/Requirements​​
Hardware Platforms ISR1100-4G, ISR1100-6G, ISR1100X-4G, ISR1100X-6G
Minimum DRAM 8GB (16GB recommended for SD-WAN deployments)
