[j-nsp] Junos Telemetry Interface (JTI)

[Tom Beecher]

Related, my company open sourced a tool we've been working on for network
telemetry at NANOG in Vancouver. I'm 95% sure that a JTI receiver is
functional on our internal builds, but they're still working on a few
things with streaming receivers generally, so it's not yet in the public
repo. May be something that can meet your needs at some point if you wanted
to keep an eye on it.
