I know that it's not apples and apples but, for what it's worth, Juniper are about to release JunOS Firefly V - a virtualised SRX (running JunOS of course). It's downloadable now with a test license, and can run in VMWare.

I think at some point in the future there will be a virtualized Junos
which can be deployed on a server, with limitations, but should be
something that supports route reflection.

Juniper has JCS today but it's obviously not as small of a box as I would
like.

ASR1001 with 16GB DRAM. What more do you want, really?

Well, it fails my "must run IOS-XR or JUNOS" requirement, for starters.

And seriously, who wants to implement routing policy in IOS?! Bletch.

What I want is something based on a generic compute platform, ala
JUNOSphere/VIRL. That lets me scale the control plane as big as I need
to,
avoids wasting money on purpose-built hardware optimized for forwarding,
and comes with the added bonus of using the same OS & policy language
that's already widely deployed in my network, so at least I don't get any
NEW interop issues.  The downside is that neither vendor sells such a
thing
right now, and so we're stuck arguing about which square peg fits best
into
the round hole.  ("small" ASR9k and MX here, FWIW)

Oh and I also want a two-vendor solution so that I'm (hopefully) not
completely screwed the next time one of them discovers a new attribute-
handling bug.
