Custom App based on any NBAR2 extracted field
The Custom App Based on any NBAR2 Extracted Field feature provides additional custom protocol capabilities to NBAR2, which are provided through Protocol Packs in accordance with Cisco's Protocol Packs release policy.
DMVPN Akamai NAT Ph2
The DMVPN Akamai NAT Ph2 feature leverages the tunnel inside another tunnel feature to enable the usage of point-to-point GRE tunnel interface between a hub or spoke to an Akamai gateway as source interface for DMVPN tunnel between hub and spoke.
IWAN serviceability -- Application aware Ping, Traceroute
The ping and traceroute command can determine if IWAN is enabled on a LAN interface thereby deciding if a packet must be to be injected in the ingress path or follow the regular path. The ping and traceroute commands are updated so that packets follow the same path when received on a LAN interface.
Mid-call signaling block - ReINVITE Consumption

SSL - TLS 1.2 support
Cisco IOS SSL uses OpenSSL to perform SSL handshakes. To be on par with the standards in the industry and also to cater to your requirements for TLS 1.2 Cisco IOS SSL supports TLS 1.2 through the SSL - TLS 1.2 Support feature.
Important Notes
The following sections contain important notes about Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.
End-of-Sale and End-of-Life of the Cisco Traditional NetFlow Feature
Cisco announces the end-of-sale and end-of-life of the Cisco Traditional NetFlow (TNF) Feature on the Cisco ASR1000 platform. Cisco will not have any future development, CLI support, TAC support, and documentation pertaining to the Cisco TNF feature beyond Cisco IOS XE Software Release 3.10.
Customers with the Cisco TNF feature on the Cisco ASR1000 platform are encouraged to migrate to the Cisco Flexible NetFlow (FNF) feature on the Cisco ASR1000 platform.
For details on transition to Cisco FNF, see the Migrating from Traditional to Flexible NetFlow white paper:

Important Notes About Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.16S
Class of Restrictions (COR) Configuration
Class of Restrictions (COR) is a Cisco voice gateway feature that enables Class of Service (COS) or calling privileges to be assigned. It is most commonly used with Cisco Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) and Cisco CallManager Express but can be applied to any dial peer. COR will work on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.17.3S and later releases only.
radius-server host Command Deprecation
Effective with Cisco IOS XE Release 3.16.6S, the radius-server host command is deprecated. When you use this command a warning appears as follows:
Warning: This CLI will be deprecated soon
Please move to ’radius server <name>’ CLI
Note It is noticed that the above warning appears when you configure the device using the radius-server host command. If a configuration is copied and pasted on the router, the warning does not appear.
For more information, see the radius-server command at this link: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/security/m1/sec-m1-cr-book/sec-cr-r1.html#wp2612454069.
