I have done quite a bit of work on the vRouter 5600 v5.0R2 Ping me offline for details, but I've managed to do:
- 8 x Routers (4 x vRouters, 2 x vMX, 2 x vSRX) in an MPLS P/PE Network (doing interop with the usual suspects) - OSPFv2 / OSPF-TE TED Database Population - RSVP-TE and EROs - LDP Transport LSPs - iBGP/eBGP with a handful of routes (didn't connect it to The Internets yet... next step...) - Route Maps / Routing Policy (i.e. matching routes, chaining localpref, overwriting next-hops for HA eBGP connections) - VRRP for server-facing stuff - DHCP Relay and BNG "lite" functionality - Bridge domains, S/C tag pop-pop/push-push operations - S/C Tag pbit re-writing - Source / P-NAT - 10G DPDK Acceleration (yep, this works very well) Couple of hiccups, but nothing I haven't been able to work around so far. ( Suspect 5.xR3 or 5.1 will likely fix the corner-case behaviours.) Have some PR/reports back into Brocade; but the vast majority "just works" and works consistently. 5.x Documentation has also been vastly improved too. - CK.
