Juniper Networks MX960 manual Product Description, Architecture and Key Components, Datasheet

Service providers are experiencing a variety of processing and scaling demands for the growth of Ethernet traffic in their edge networks. Additionally, traditional carrier class elements typically not found in Ethernet platforms are now a requirement. These include hierarchical quality of service (QoS), logical interface scalability, High Availability features and MPLS feature richness. The MX960 Ethernet Services Router (ESR) was designed to address these specific Ethernet requirements. Powered by the industry leading JUNOS operating system and the high performance I-Chip, the MX960 delivers

Juniper Networks MX960 Ethernet Services Router

Product Description

To ensure that the MX960 delivers the lowest cost per port without sacrificing performance, reliability, scalability or functionality, it has been purpose-built to optimize both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing functionality.

Ethernet based services present a significant new revenue opportunity for service providers. These services include VPNs, point-to-point connectivity, high speed internet access and video-based offerings. With continuous technology advances and ongoing standards development, Ethernet is increasingly the technology of choice at the service provider edge. As an example of Juniper’s commitment to delivering Ethernet-centric solutions to meet the needs of next-generation networks and services, the MX960 offers unmatched scalability, performance, reliability and QoS for both business and residential services.

The MX960 ESR is a high density Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet platform designed for deployment in a number of service provider Ethernet edge scenarios. Examples of the wide range of Ethernet services provided by the MX960 include:

•VPLS services for multi-point connectivity—native support for VPLS services

•Virtual Leased Line (VLL) for point-to-point services—native support for point-to-point services

•RFC 2547.bis IP/MPLS VPN (L3VPN)—full support for MPLS VPNs throughout the

Ethernet Network

•Video Distribution IPTV services

•Ethernet Aggregation at the Campus/Enterprise Edge—supports dense 1 GE and 10 GE configurations as well as providing full L3 support for Campus Edge requirements

•Ethernet Aggregation at the Multiservice Edge—supports up to 480 1 GE ports or 48 10 GE ports for maximum Ethernet density, along with full L2 and L3 VPN support for MSE applications
