I have not found many resources discussing using a non-router box as a route reflector (ie a device not necessarily in the forwarding path of the through traffic). I am thinking things like OpenBGPd and BIRD could make a good route reflector though they are most often discussed in the context of IXPs (ie eBGP sessions).The CSR1000v (IOS-XE),IOS-XRv and vMX are production ready. People are deploying these in production and its increasing in popularity.
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is targeted as an out-of-path reflector, and coexists with vMX as a different deployment option rather than having been replaced by it.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 would assume that vRR should come in a few bucks lower than the vMX as a result, but I've only previously gotten quotes on vRR not vMX.
Mark Tinka gave a good preso at a recent Nanog: https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/2_Tinka_21st_Century_iBGP_Route_Reflection.pdf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLEjOj2fyp8&list=PLO8DR5ZGla8hcpeEDSBNPE5OrZf70iXZg&index=21 Cheers, James.
