Use Cases
- Network Function Virtualisation (NFV): Replace physical MX routers with virtual instances.
- Lab & Certification Training: Test routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, IS-IS), MPLS, VPNs (L3VPN, L2VPN), and firewall filters.
- CI/CD Pipeline Testing: Validate Junos config changes before deploying to physical routers.
- SDN Integration: Used with Contrail or other orchestrators as a CPE or PE router.
Network Simulation: It is widely used in simulation platforms like EVE-NG and GNS3 to test complex topologies without physical hardware. Network Simulation: It is widely used in simulation
