: Specifies that this is a demonstration or evaluation image. Cisco provides these images with certain built-in limitations—most notably a throughput cap (often restricted to 15 kbps or 1-2 Mbps depending on the exact sub-version) and a nag message in the console. However, it retains a fully functional control plane, making it ideal for protocol validation.
