Architecture and Key Components
The platform is built with several key components:
- Switch Fabric Board (SFB): Provides high scalability and fault tolerance, offering up to 4 Tbps of full-duplex switching capacity per MPC slot.
- Control Board and Routing Engine (CB-RE): Runs Junos OS, handling routing protocol processing and control plane functions, with a clear separation from the forwarding plane.
- Power: Optimized for power efficiency with a robust architecture supporting various power inputs (-48 V DC, AC, HVDC, HVAC).
- Modular Port Concentrator (MPC): Offers comprehensive routing, switching, and inline services, supporting diverse network applications and interface types. MPCs are designed for high port density and performance, with features like flexible licensing and native MACsec support.
Key Features and Benefits
Industry-Leading Scalability, Capacity, and Density
The MX2000 Series offers exceptional performance, with models providing up to 80 Tbps of system throughput. The MPC11E, with its cost-optimized monolithic design and high-density 100GbE aggregation, enables industry-leading port density.
Unmatched Network Availability
The platform ensures non-stop network availability through N+1 redundancy for fabric, control plane, and power systems, along with virtual chassis technology for chassis-level redundancy. LAG (Link Aggregation Group) support further enhances availability.
Integrated Network Edge Services
The MX2000 routers can host network edge services directly, reducing the need for dedicated appliances and simplifying operations. These services include Junos Subscriber Aware, Junos Application Aware, Junos Address Aware, Junos Network Secure, and Junos VPN Site Secure.
Power Efficiency
The MX2000 Series sets a new standard for power efficiency in edge routers. It features flexible power provisioning, dynamic power consumption management, and silicon-level optimizations like clock gating and memory sleep modes, achieving an impressive power-to-throughput efficiency of 0.25W/GbE.
Addressing Service Provider Applications
The platform supports various service provider applications, including:
- Broadband Edge (BNG): Provides robust BNG functionality for provisioning broadband services, supporting high subscriber density and QoS.
- Business Edge: Offers a comprehensive VPN toolkit for secure interconnections and business services, supporting L2/L3 VPNs, VPLS, and advanced VPN services.
- IP Core: Ideal for core, converged edge/core, and peering applications, offering high system capacity, advanced FIB, and support for DWDM and IP/Optical integration.
- Metro Ethernet: Provides full routing and switching capabilities for metro and aggregation networks, supporting various deployment models.
- Universal SDN Gateway: Acts as a universal gateway for interconnecting virtual and physical networks, supporting SDN principles.
