: A full L3 router implementation with support for up to 16 GigabitEthernet interfaces and full control-plane and data-plane functionality. It is built from the Cisco IOS M/T train, bringing most of the feature richness of physical Cisco hardware into the virtual space.
: Traditional Cisco physical routers use Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) to accelerate packet switching. Because IOSv emulates the data plane via the CPU, it is unsuited for high-throughput performance testing or production traffic filtering.
