Juniper PDU2-PTX-DC-BB Routers

The PTX Series Packet Transport Routers bring physical and virtual innovations to the service provider core network that directly address concerns about operational expenditures while scaling organically to keep pace with growing traffic demands. In order for PTX Series routers to lower operational expenses, physical innovations at the core silicon are needed. PTX Series routers are powered by Juniper Networks ExpressPlus™ Silicon, building upon the Juniper Networks Junos Express silicon concepts of low consistent latency and wire-rate packet performance for both IP traffic and MPLS transport without sacrificing the optimized system power profile. All of these concepts are incorporated into the design along with full IP functionality, preserving the spirit of the original Junos Express chipset. The ExpressPlus Silicon is the first purpose-built telecommunication silicon to engineer a 3D memory architecture into the base design for over 1.6 billion filter operations per second, dynamic table memory allocation for mammoth IP routing scale, and enormous power efficiency gains. The ability to address service provider core networking requirements of performance, deployability, and SDN control begins with the silicon. The integration of optical transport with 100GbE coherent technology further improves the economics of both metro and core networks. With PTX Series routers powered by the Juniper ExpressPlus Silicon, service providers can now deploy a Converged Supercore architecture with the efficiency of a lean core deployment with Juniper Networks NorthStar Controller SDN control, a robust full-featured Internet backbone router, and a converged regional IP/MPLS core router with integrated 100GbE coherent transport for superior performance, elegant deployment, and SDN programmability. Performance is one of the guiding design principles for the PTX Series routers. This focus empowers service providers with superior scale to match increased traffic demands and simplified network engineering challenges with predictable system latency to improve the overall service experience and best in-class resiliency to ensure that service providers meet strict customer SLAs. Deployability is the other guiding design principle for the PTX Series routers that focuses on power, space, and weight— fundamental concerns that impact the service providers’ operational budget with respect to growing traffic demands. SDN programmability brings virtual innovations to the service provider core, while the Juniper Networks NorthStar Controller is an open, standards-based solution that optimizes both the IP layer and the transport layer with precise SDN control, allowing service providers to automate and scale operations. PTX5000 The Juniper Networks PTX5000 Packet Transport Router transforms the core network with physical and virtual innovations for unprecedented scale and cost. Service providers now have the freedom to create new virtualized services anywhere in the network and elastically create a Converged Supercore architecture with precise traffic control without sacrificing the service experience. The PTX5000, for the first time, lets service providers seamlessly scale IP/MPLS traffic without sacrificing performance and deployability, the contributors to eroding TCO analysis for service providers. The PTX5000 focus is on the Converged Supercore architecture for service providers, which is optimized for LSR, Internet backbone, peering, and dense 100 Gbps opticalcoherent DWDM applications for large, high-speed, massivescale networks. As such, for the first time, service providers can match traffic demand with optimized core router performance and deployability. The PTX5000, the only core router that can be deployed in a standard 19-inch telecommunications rack, stands 36U high with eight line-card slots, two redundant route engine slots, and nine switch fabric slots. At 3 Tbps per line-card slot, the PTX5000 supports 24 Tbps of total system capacity. Powered by the Juniper ExpressPlus Silicon, the PTX5000 offers predictable IP/MPLS packet performance and functionality, eliminating the complex sawtooth packet profile found in elaborate overengineered NPUs deployed in other core routers. The PTX5000 supports 240 x 100GbE interfaces (in QSFP28 optic form factors) in a single chassis, delivering the scale required to match expanding traffic demand. The PTX5000 also supports the industry’s densest 100GbEcoherent DWDM linecard with 1 Tbps capacity, blending bestof-class IP/MPLS performance with optical transport to flatten network layers.
