Chapter1 Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router Overview
Cisco CSR 1000V Series Software License Overview
The supported performance indicates the maximum throughput supported by the Cisco CSR 1000V for
the license. If the throughput exceeds the supported performance, the router may experience dropped
packets and you will receive notification that the supported performance has been exceeded. The
Cisco CSR 1000V uses a performance limiter to regulate the throughput level. For more information, see
the “License-Based Restriction on Aggregate Bandwidth” section on page 13-6.
If additional performance is required, an additional license for a separate Cisco CSR 1000V VM must
be purchased. The Cisco CSR 1000V supports only one router instance per VM.
The Cisco CSR 1000V software licenses operate as follows:
•Each software license can be used for only one VM.
•You can install more than one license on a VM, but the multiple licenses can only apply to that VM.
