Because the image runs as a Linux process under QEMU/KVM, its packet forwarding performance is entirely . In GNS3/EVE-NG:

Newer images (e.g., vios-adventerprisek9-m.SPA.157-3.M3.bin ) require more RAM but support modern features like segment routing, LISP, and MPLS-TE. i86bi-linux-adventerprisek9-ms.154-1.t-antigns3.bin

Cisco IOU (also known as IOL - IOS on Linux) is a compiled version of Cisco’s IOS software designed to run as a native user-mode process on Linux. Unlike standard IOS images that require a hypervisor (like Dynamips) to emulate hardware, IOU is more resource-efficient, allowing you to run dozens of nodes on a single laptop. Key Features of this Image Because the image runs as a Linux process

These are 32-bit binaries. On a 64-bit Linux system (like the GNS3 VM), you may need to install 32-bit libraries (specifically libcrypto.so.4 or similar aliases) for the image to run.
