Juniper PSM2-PTX-DC-BB Routers

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.
