For vMX, there is a "lite" flavour of the PFE image that uses DPDK in interrupt mode instead of poll mode. See: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/vmx15.1f6/topics/task/configuration/vmx-chassis-flow-caching-enabling.html This option doesn't exist for vSRX yet, AFAIK, but I heard it - or something similar - is coming.
