What Are VM Hosts? 

       Beginning in Junos OS Release 16.1, vm hosts are upheld that not just give expanded control      plane adaptability and execution yet in addition give virtualization capacities to the Junos OS  framework. These virtualized Routing Engines, or vm hosts has, are the Routing Engines RE-MX-X6, RE-MX-X8, RE-PTX-X8, RE-QFX10002-60C.

It contains the accompanying parts: 

• The equipment layer 
• 
  
• The working framework and hypervisor layer. 
• 
  
• The host utilities and Junos VM visitor layer. 

The server at the equipment layer contains the physical system interface cards (NICs), CPUs, memory, and Ethernet the board port. The NICs bolster equipment virtualization dependent on single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV). With SR-IOV, the physical NICs (known as a physical capacities) are overseen by the host, while the virtual capacities are overseen by the visitor OS. Over the equipment layer, a Linux-based OS furnishes the host condition alongside the piece based virtual machine (KVM) and Quick Emulator (QEMU). This host OS deals with the boot complex, CPU memory stockpiling, and different other equipment parts, for example, the physical capacities. Junos OS runs as visitor OS, deals with the virtual capacities, and fills in as the managerial system. Furthermore, it additionally gives the interface to dealing with the host and the hypervisor.

• The extra applications and utilities running on the host OS help with giving the accompanying usefulness:
• Encouraging correspondence between have OS and visitor OS. 
• Activating proper execution of the host OS dependent on the direction and setup on the visitor Junos OS. 
• Stretching out the VM the board usefulness to give highlights, for example, autorecovery.
