Any thoughts on vRR vs. vMX for this use case? I see Mark called out vRR=

as having morphed into vMX, but AFAIK vRR is just vMX minus the forwarding=

plane, is targeted as an out-of-path reflector, and coexists with vMX as a=

different deployment option rather than having been replaced by it. I=20
would assume that vRR should come in a few bucks lower than the vMX as a=20
result, but I've only previously gotten quotes on vRR not vMX.
