The data plane throughput is limited. It is meant for control-plane validation and configuration testing, not for high-throughput traffic testing.
The "demo" image has . Every packet that enters a physical/virtual interface is punted to the CPU.
The demonstration license actively shapes data plane traffic down to a negligible rate. Do not attempt to use this image for actual production traffic, data-heavy traffic generators, or performance benchmarking. Iosxrv-k9-demo-6.1.3.qcow2
Compared to newer versions, 6.1.3 is relatively lightweight. It typically requires 3GB to 4GB of RAM per instance, making it easier to run large topologies on a standard PC than the 16GB-per-node XRv 9000.
Testing Python or Ansible scripts against the XR API. The data plane throughput is limited
