Juniper’s secure automated distributed cloud blueprint enables service providers to react quickly to changing market conditions in the cloud era, accelerating service delivery with world-class products and innovative architectural components. The MX10000 line of Universal Routing Platforms is an integral part of this solution. With its massive scale and efficiency, the MX10000 line is ideal for space- and power-constrained environments. It redefines per-slot economics, enabling customers to do more with less while simplifying network design, reducing OpEx, and enabling the profitable delivery of a broad range of business, residential, mobile, cable, data center, and cloud services—all while seamlessly supporting traditional and emerging network architectures. The MX10000 chassis shares a common set of components with other Juniper products; various line cards and software are available to satisfy specific core routing, edge routing, and switching applications.
The Juniper Networks MX10000 line of Universal Routing Platforms includes the 7 RU, 38.4 Tbps-capable MX10004 supporting up to 9.6 Tbps per slot and the 13 RU, 76.8 Tbpscapable MX10008 supporting up to 9.6 Tbps per slot. They offer dense 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE, 100GbE and 400GbE support and are 800GbE ready. This enables service providers and cloud operators to confidently build the best networks across data centers, business edge, and cloud markets. The MX10000 line shares common chassis components with equivalent Juniper Networks PTX Series Packet Transport Routers and QFX Series Switches; using specific software and line cards, the universal chassis can be successfully deployed as a core router, IP edge router, or switch, reducing the burden on network operators to qualify multiple platforms.
The line cards for the MX10000 line of modular platforms are based on highly scalable, custom Juniper Trio 6 silicon, making it the industry’s leading router for data center edge, core, peering, and aggregation applications. Each slot on the MX10004 and MX10008 supports 9.6 Tbps, while the line cards support multi-rate 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE, 100GbE, and 400GbE interfaces.
The modular design of the MX10004 and MX10008 routers provides investment protection by allowing future upgrades. The LC480 line card leverages Trio 4 chips to achieve 480 Gbps total throughput. The LC9600 line card leverages Trio 6 chips to achieve 9.6 Tbps total throughput.
The PFEs provide ingress queuing with loopback stream optimization to avoid reading and writing packet tails when packets are sent to and received back from a loopback stream. The line cards also provide Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) support with per-port Ethernet OAM counters, as well as packet memory, which uses Hybrid Memory Cube DRAM technology to reduce power usage, increase speed, and improve system density.
The MX10004 and MX10008 RE features a 10-core 2.2 GHz Intel processor with 64/128 GB memory and 2×200 GB solidstate drive (SSD) storage.
The MX10004 contains three power supply slots and the MX10008 contains six power supply slots to provide complete flexibility for provisioning and redundancy.
The first generation of AC power supplies on the MX10008 accepts 200 to 240 volts alternating current (VAC) input, delivering 2700 watts of power to the chassis. The DC power supplies accept -40 to -72 volts direct current (VDC) input, delivering 2500 watts of power to the chassis. Each AC and DC power supply has two inputs for feed redundancy.
The second generation of AC/DC power supplies on the MX10004 and MX10008 delivers up to 5500 W per unit to the chassis, enabling dense 400GbE with optional lower-power settings. For more information on the MX10000 line power supplies
The MX10000 line of modular chassis supports front-to-back cooling with air drawn in through perforations on the REs and the line cards in the front of the platform, while hot air exits through the rear of the chassis. The modular fan trays are accessible from the rear of the chassis.
The MX10000 modular line delivers powerful Junos OS chassis management that allows environmental monitoring and field-replaceable unit (FRU) control. Chassis management provides a faster primary switchover, enhanced power budgeting with modular power management, reduced power consumption for partially populated systems, granular control over FRU power-on, single zone cooling with better fan speed control for reduced noise, and CPU leveling during monitoring intervals.
The MX10000 modular line simplifies management based on the elegance and simplicity of Junos OS. Management applications can receive streaming telemetry data to provide robust protocol analytics for an SDN environment. Junos OS also supports OpenConfig, which today is a YANG-based data model that supports a variety of operator use cases.
