To configure or not: Management Plane over VSX

[FedericoMeiners]

Hello Check Mates

I wanted to invite you to think about implementing the management plane introduced in R80.30 in a VSX gateway.

I'm really eager to implement this functionality described in sk138672. By reading this I cannot help myself to not think about VS0 in VSX.

VS0 is the main "connection" and management point for VSX, it has their own cores if you want it to, own routes, policies and it's logically separated.

Is there something that I'm missing? Maybe some additional improvements that work on user space / kernel space? I really want to know more but for the moment there is not much information. From my point of view it's an amazing feature to implement in regular gateways.

Thanks in advance 🙂

VS0 provides the same functionality in VSX already, so I'm not sure what extra benefit are you looking for. VS0 should only be used for the management connections anyway.

Straight to the point. I though about that but just wanted to make sure that they are similar in functionality and it doesn't yield any benefits on VSX.

Thanks!
