isnt the point of hypervisor on re/rp meant to support $os within vm? i know cisco is moving towards contaniers-in-vm for packaging inside of ncs6000 platform. i expect with hardware revisions -- other platforms with high-impact in core/edge applications will move this way as well. i imagine that its somewhat easier to concurrently run two instances of router code, then quiesce the memory/state between them rather than perform tedious state saving/manipulation in memory to support any semblance of issu on box (debates about issu notwithstanding). i'm not current in a lot of juniper roadmap -- so not sure if this is a possibility for future code on re. q. -- quinn snyder | snyd...@gmail.com -= sent via iphone. please excuse spelling, grammar, and brevity =- _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
