They sell XRv now specifically as a vRR, you can find the deployment guides on 
their website.  

The throughput on it isn't very good and they suggest using the CSR if you 
really want a software router.  The only other thing they have XRv for is 
testing.  

Juniper doesn't really have two tracks, its the same RE software, just think of 
it like using two different line modules in the same router.  I just don't 
think they have quite made it seamless at this point.

Don't know about the ALU offering, but Cisco don't have a 
vRR-type solution.

CSR1000v is a full-fledged router. What you can do and how 
much traffic you can forward through it is all controlled by 
what license you buy.

I find this a better use of vendor resources than 
maintaining two separate tracks.
