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. - CK.
