[j-nsp] Best route reflector platform

[Phil Bedard]

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.
