A clear process exists for adding vMX version 17.1R1.8 to the EVE-NG platform [7†L11-L34]: It separates the control plane, handled by the
To understand why this specific version is significant, one must first understand the architecture of the vMX. Unlike traditional virtual routers that often sacrifice performance for flexibility, the vMX was designed to mirror the physical MX series. It separates the control plane, handled by the Junos VM, from the forwarding plane, managed by the Virtual Forwarding Plane (vFP). The 17.1 release cycle was a particularly mature era for this technology, focusing on stabilizing the Virtio and SR-IOV interfaces that allow a virtual machine to process packets at speeds that were previously the exclusive domain of custom ASIC hardware.
