The Cisco ASR1K series has throughput licensing (yes I know it's honour-based). I have a couple of questions regarding this:</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429921655523_2505" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429921655523_2505" dir="ltr">1. How is the throughput measured? Is just the input or output rate on any of the interfaces?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429921655523_2505" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429921655523_2505" dir="ltr">2. If throughput reaches your licensed level what happens? Does it shape your traffic to the licensed rate regardless that there's heaps of other resources like CPU and memory?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429921655523_2505" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429921655523_2505" dir="ltr">For example the ASR1001 can be licensed only up 5Gbps but can take a 10Gbps interface. What happens after you reach the maximum licensed throughput of 5Gbps? Will it shape all the traffic on the 10Gbps interface to 5Gbps?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429921655523_2505" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429921655523_2505" dir="ltr">-James</div></div></body></html>
