Licensing
Bring Your Own License (BYOL) products require a valid license. You are responsible for purchasing and managing your own licenses from Cisco or their partners or resellers.
Support
Cisco support is available for BYOL devices. Contact a Cisco sales representative or partner to purchase a license and support contract.
Note: Throughput (IMIX, IMIX/IPSec) values in the tables are reference-only values for each VNF, and are based on testing performed by Equinix in conjunction with RFC 2544 standards. Results may vary based on additional conditions and variables. Throughput values will be limited with applied license type. The values should not be considered as guaranteed throughput.
