What are those possibilities? How can you leverage VM in your
router/switch? Do you have access to the high performance NPU? Or some
high-performance link to forwarding-plane?
If it's just plain old VM in server, why would you want to save 1kUSD
on installing compute to the rack and add complexity/risk to your
network infrastructure? JunOS, IOS-XR are very fickle already and fail
on the darnest things, I'd be very hesitant to put random VM there
without extremely compelling justification.
