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

The correct answer is 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 traffic that all traffic will be redirected to another RSP and this will halve the throughput rate, but not cause any disruption. See the full explanation below for the reasoning.
