Couple of things I will also mention:
- vRouter boots up a *LOT* faster than vMX/vSRX
....So the time from spin-up to forwarding packets is the quickest I've
seen vs other VNFs (i.e. CSR vASR1000, vMX etc.)
- vMX doesn't do a lot of the MPC/DPC "service blade" (MS-MPC) functionality
basically non-feature parity w/vRouter w/things like IPSEC, EoGRE, NAT
etc. You'd have to use vSRX for those; and the caveats/lack of features it
brings. (i.e. no EoGRE, stateful flows, etc.)
- I've always had issues with vlan and pop/swap operations on vMX
(which actually i think is more of a vSwitch problem than anything
when under ESXi).
KVM seems Ok tho.
- VxLAN is broken still under 15.1F5 under vMX.
The IP addressing is little-endian when it hits there wire.
i.e. IP address 1.0.0.2 of a VTEP goes "out on the wire" as source IP
"2.0.0.1".
Fun eh? Took me days to find that one ( a PCAP revealed all.)
I do Like vMX a lot (what I'm used to), but the more I play with vRouter, the
more I'm impressed by it.
