boost license in ISR 4000 routers
ISR 4000s have the capability to “license” throughput. the solution was built this way with clear goal in mind. previously it was hard to estimate how given router will perform under some random set of features. the CPU driven routers by themselves have a lot of challenges to address, so measuring performance and then sticking to it with each and every new software release was simply unrealistic. we published “kpps” numbers, but then got heat from our Customers, when performance was lower with each and every enabled service. with ISR 4000 we decided to go different route - the router is “good” for up to specific bandwidth - with all services enabled. that means it can go faster, but initially we limited this capability. ...
