Dear Team,

We used the following commands to check the throughput on our Cisco Asr 1001x router, and the outputs were as follows. However, their throughput different. When we use the show license command, throughput is shown as 10G, while when we use the show version command, throughput is shown as 2.5G. Would you kindly let us know which one the router's extract throughput is?

show license

Index 29 Feature: throughput_10g
Period left: Life time
License Type: Permanent
License State: Active, Not in Use
License Count: Non-Counted
License Priority: Medium

show version
The current throughput level is 2500000 kbps

Thank you.

2.5 Gbps.

No one can push 2.5 Gbps of traffic down a 1 Gbps pipe, hence, the 10 Gbps throughput license.

Dear Team,

I appreciate your quick answer. We also have another Cisco ASR 1001 x router and when we run the show license command, it shows throughput as 5G, but when we use the show version command, nothing is displayed.Could you please tell why that is and what the extract throughput is of it?

Thank you

Depends on the firmware. 

The bandwidth output from the "sh version" is very version-specific.
