[j-nsp] vMX for ESXi

[Phil Bedard]

I misspoke, there is a higher performance version starting in 5.4.0 of XRv and 6.0 as well.  These do use the DPDK.

There isn't a performance optimized version of XRv, it's really only useful for low speed applications like the vRR bersion of Junos.  I do use them extensively for control plane testing and they work as vRRs.  

 

 Now 6.0 is starting to get there since it is Linux based instead of QNX, has CPU core affinities, etc.  Afaik still no support for Intel DPDK like vMX and the vSR from ALU.

Got me wondering in what use cases vMX is better than XRv please?
