The Juniper Networks PTX10008 Packet Transport Router enables cloud and data center operators to smoothly transition from 10-Gigabit and 40-Gigabit Ethernet networks to 100-Gigabit and 400-Gigabit Ethernet high-performance networks. This flexible, 13 rack unit (13-U) modular chassis has eight line card slots that can support a maximum of 288 400-Gigabit Ethernet ports that can also be configured as 576 200-Gigabit Ethernet ports, 1152 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports, 288 50-Gigabit Ethernet ports, 288 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports, 288 25-Gigabit Ethernet ports, or 1152 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
The switch fabric consists of six Switch Interface Boards (SIBs). There are two models of SIBs that correspond to the two types of switch fabric that support two different types of line cards. The JNP10008-SF SIB supports five standard line cards and operates in standard Junos OS. The JNP10008-SF switch fabric has a 42 Tbps of forwarding capacity. The JNP10008-SF3 SIB supports the 14.4 Tbps line card and operates in Junos OS Evolved systems. In the JNP10008-SF3 switch fabric the forwarding plane can provide 115 Tbps of forwarding capacity.
The PTX10008 (IP core) router is available in both base and redundant configurations for both AC and DC operation. All systems feature front-to-back airflow
