The J-series specs (which run JunOS) did seem to list a specific # of VRs, not sure if that is a license limit or just a "capacity" type of rating. This PDF is quite handy for specs like that:

For instance, it lists the J-6350 as having 30 VRs.

It isn't clear from your answer if if I can have 192.168.1.x exist as a remote network for multiple customers (each with their own VR).. can you clarify?

Hi Mike,

In ScreenOS you can achieve all of your requirements using VSYS, however you 
will find this is a fairly expensive road to go down with large numbers of 
clients (VSYS are licensed).

In JunOS you should be able to meet all of your requirements without any licensing issues 
- VRs are "free" and will do most of the same functionality. The only 
limitation is IPSEC tunnelling from within a VR which is currently in a state of flux 
(currently the interface the IKE gateway is bound to has to live in the global routing 
table), but I imagine this will be fixed in time.

Cheers,

Ben

We are looking to provide "virtual firewalling/VPN" services to customers 
hosted in our VMware and Hyper-V hosting environments (trying to avoid dedicating a 
physical NIC port for each customer on the host and hanging a firewall appliance off of 
each).  In a nutshell, each customer gets their own VLAN subinterface (which will cascade 
all the way down into their virtual machine), and we can define unique firewall rules (as 
well as establish IPSec VPN tunnels) on a per-customer basis.

I'm looking at the following platforms:

SSG-500 (ScreenOS)
Juniper J-series (JunOS)

It is not clear if I simply need the VR (virtual router) or VSYS (virtual system) feature(s) to do 
this -- I need a unique routing table, a unique set of firewall rules/zones, and the ability to 
define VPN tunnels even if there are overlapping VPN endpoint networks among multiple customers 
(e.g. both Customer "A" and Customer "B" use 192.168.1.x on their side).

Any insight would be much appreciated.
