>I think vMX can forward data. vMX indeed will be full-featured router. But my questions was related to move part of control-plane (basically whole BGP part of rpd) to external server. Maybe OpenFlow somehow helps here ? How openflow take care of eBGP to customers ? Session should be on router or on OpenFlow controller ? OF v1.3 just has been implemented in JunOS 14.x releases for MX series.
BTW. Are anyone participating in vMX beta-trial ?
