Support for SR-IOV virtualization (JRR200)—Starting in Junos OS Release 21.1R1, the JRR200 route reflector uses single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) instead of full virtualization (emulated I/O) for network ports. SR-IOV helps to maximize the I/O throughput on the 10GbE SFP+ ports.
SR-IOV improves:
- BGP convergence in a scaled environment.
- Throughput performance for BGP RIB sharding.
