[j-nsp] ability to turn USB port on/off for MX routing engine?

[Jerry Jones]

Is there not a free SDK for developing on the RE?

Back in the "good old days" where JUNOS didn't sport signed binaries,
there were multiple instances of people running "custom software" on
JUNOS REs. One example is e.g. a "mtr" package used until Juniper
finally properly integrated mtr in form of "traceroute monitor" CLI.
Another example (that's being rumored, but confirmed by some JNPR
guy[1]) is some dude (RAS? :-)) running a Doom server on a JUNOS RE. :)

Those days the fun is gone and the JUNOS kernel executes only
Juniper-signed code. Nontrivial to slip in own stuff.

Best regards,
Daniel
