Building a high-fidelity data center lab used to require racks of expensive hardware. Today, network engineers rely on virtual platforms like the to simulate complex BGP fabrics, EVPN-VXLAN topologies, and high-performance switching without the physical footprint.

The string breaks down as:

The RE image handles the management and control plane protocols, while the PFE handles the data plane.
