    EVPN-VXLAN Technology

    Most traditional campus networks have a single-vendor, chassis-based architecture that worked well for smaller, static campuses with few endpoints. However, this approach is too rigid to support the changing needs of modern campus networks. The EX4100 supports EVPN-VXLAN, extending an end-to-end fabric from campus core to distribution to the access layer. An EVPN-VXLAN fabric is a simple, programmable, highly scalable architecture built on open standards. This technology can be applied in both data centers and campuses for architectural consistency. A campus EVPN-VXLAN architecture uses a Layer 3 IP-based underlay network and an EVPN-VXLAN overlay network. A flexible overlay network based on a VXLAN overlay with an EVPN control plane efficiently provides Layer 2 and/or Layer 3 connectivity throughout the network. EVPN-VXLAN also offers a scalable way to build and interconnect multiple campus sites, delivering:
    • Greater consistency and scalability across all network layers
    • Multivendor deployment support
    • Reduced flooding and learning
    • Location-agnostic connectivity
    • Consistent network segmentation
    • Simplified management
     

    Virtual Chassis Technology

    Juniper’s Virtual Chassis technology allows multiple interconnected switches to operate as a single, logical unit, enabling users to manage all platforms as one virtual device. Up to 10 EX4100 switches can be interconnected as a Virtual Chassis using 4 x 25GbE SFP28 dedicated front-panel ports. Although configured as Virtual Chassis ports by default, the 4 x 25GbE SFP28 uplinks can also be configured as uplink ports. The EX4100 switches can form a Virtual Chassis with any other models within the EX4100 product line.  

    Microsegmentation Using Group-Based Policy

    GBP leverages underlying VXLAN technology to provide location-agnostic endpoint access control. This allows network administrators to implement consistent security policies across the enterprise network domains. The EX4100 supports a standards-based GBP solution, allowing different levels of access control for endpoints and applications even within the same VLAN. Customers can simplify their network configuration by using GBP, avoiding the need to configure large numbers of firewall filters on all their switches. GBP can block lateral threats by ensuring consistent application of security group policies throughout the network, regardless of the location of endpoints and/or users.  

    Flow-Based Telemetry

    Flow-based telemetry enables flow-level analytics, allowing network administrators to monitor thousands of traffic flows on the EX4100 without burdening the CPU. This improves network security by monitoring, baselining, and detecting flow anomalies. For example, if predefined flow thresholds are breached due to an attack, IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) alerts can be sent to an external server to quickly identify the attack. Network administrators can also automate specific workflows, such as further examining the traffic or quarantining a port, to triage the issue. In addition to DOS attacks, Flow-Based Telemetry on EX4100 switches can measure packet delays at ingress, chip, and egress points, as well as report drop reasons.

    Campus Fabric Deployments

    EVPN-VXLAN for Campus Core, Distribution, and Access

    The main advantages of EVPN-VXLAN in campus networks are:
    • Flexibility of consistent VLANs across the network: Endpoints can be placed anywhere in the network and remain connected to the same logical L2 network, enabling a virtual topology to be decoupled from the physical topology.
    • Microsegmentation: The EVPN-VXLAN-based architecture lets you deploy a common set of policies and services across campuses with support for L2 and L3VPNs.
    • Scalability: With an EVPN control plane, enterprises can scale out easily by adding more core, aggregation, and access layer devices as the business grows without having to redesign the network or perform a forklift upgrade. Using an L3 IP-based underlay coupled with an EVPN-VXLAN overlay, campus network operators can deploy much larger and more resilient networks than would otherwise be possible with traditional L2 Ethernet-based architectures.
    Juniper offers complete flexibility in choosing any of the following validated EVPN-VXLAN campus fabrics that cater to networks of different sizes, scale, and segmentation requirements: EVPN multihoming (on collapsed core or distribution): A collapsed core architecture combines the core and distribution layers into a single layer, turning the traditional three-tier hierarchal network into a two-tier network. EVPN Multihoming on a collapsed core eliminates the need for Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) across campus networks by providing link aggregation capabilities from the access layer to the core layer. This topology is best suited for small to medium distributed enterprise networks and allows for consistent VLANs across the network. This topology uses ESI (Ethernet Segment Identifier) LAG (Link Aggregation) and is a standards-based protocol. Campus Fabric Core distribution: When EVPN VXLAN is configured across core and distribution layers, it becomes a campus Fabric Core Distribution architecture, which can be configured in two modes: centrally or edge routed bridging overlay. This architecture provides an opportunity for an administrator to move towards campus-fabric IP Clos without fork-lift upgrade of all access switches in the existing network, while bringing in the advantages of moving to a campus fabric and providing an easy way to scale out the network. Campus Fabric IP Clos: When EVPN VXLAN is configured on all layers including access, it is called the campus fabric IP Clos architecture. This model is also referred to as “end-to-end,” given that VXLAN tunnels are terminated at the access layer. Due to the availability of VXLAN at access, it provides us with the opportunity to bring policy enforcement to the access layer (closest to the source) using Group Based Policy (GBP). Standards-based GBP tags bring the unique option to segment traffic both at a micro and macro level. GBP tags are assigned dynamically to clients as part of Radius transaction by Mist Cloud NAC. This topology works for small-medium and large campus architectures that need macro and micro segmentation.

    Figure 4: Campus fabrics showing Virtual Chassis and EVPN-VXLAN-based architectures
    All three topologies are standards-based and interoperable with third-party vendors. The EX4100 switches can be deployed in campus and branch access layer networks in the EVPN-VXLAN architectures shown in Figure 4.

    Chassis-Class Availability

    The EX4100 switches deliver high availability through redundant power supplies and fans, graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES), and nonstop bridging and routing when deployed in a Virtual Chassis configuration. In a Virtual Chassis configuration, each EX4100 switch is capable of functioning as a Routing Engine (RE). When two or more EX4100 switches are interconnected, a single control plane is shared among all Virtual Chassis member switches. Junos OS automatically initiates an election process to assign a primary (active) and backup (hot-standby) RE. An integrated L2 and L3 GRES feature maintains uninterrupted access to applications, services, and IP communications in the unlikely event of a primary RE failure. When more than two switches are interconnected in a Virtual Chassis configuration, the remaining switch elements act as line cards and are available to assume the backup RE position should the designated primary RE fail. Primary, backup, and line card priority status can be assigned to dictate the order of ascension; this N+1 RE redundancy, coupled with the GRES, nonstop active routing (NSR), and nonstop bridging (NSB) capabilities of Junos OS, assures a smooth transfer of control plane functions following unexpected failures. The EX4100 implements the same slot/module/port numbering scheme as other Juniper chassis-based products when numbering Virtual Chassis ports, providing true chassis-like operations. By using a consistent operating system and a single configuration file, all switches in a Virtual Chassis configuration are treated as a single device, greatly simplifying overall system maintenance and management. Individually, the EX4100 offers a number of HA features that are typically associated with modular chassis-based switches. When combined with the field-proven Junos OS and L2/L3 failover capabilities, these features provide the EX4100 with true carrier-class reliability.
    • Redundant power supplies: The EX4100 line of switches supports redundant, load-sharing, hot-swappable, and field-replaceable power supplies to maintain uninterrupted operations. Thanks to its compact footprint, the EX4100 requires significantly less power than chassis-based switches delivering equivalent port densities.
    • Hot-swappable fans: The EX4100 includes hot-swappable fans, providing sufficient cooling (for a short duration) even if one of the fans were to fail.
    • Nonstop bridging and nonstop active routing: NSB and NSR on the EX4100 ensure that control plane protocols, states, and tables are synchronized between primary and standby REs to prevent protocol flaps or convergence issues following an RE failover.
    • Redundant trunk group (RTG): To avoid the complexities of STP without sacrificing network resiliency, the EX4100 employs redundant trunk groups to provide the necessary port redundancy and simplify switch configuration.
    • Cross-member link aggregation: Cross-member link aggregation allows redundant link aggregation connections between devices in a single Virtual Chassis configuration, providing an additional level of reliability and availability.
    • IPv4 and IPv6 routing support: IPv4 and IPv6 Layer 3 routing (OSPF and BGP) is available with a Flex license, enabling highly resilient networks.
     

    MACsec AES256

    The EX4100 switches support IEEE 802.1ae MACsec with AES-256-bit encryption to increase security of point-to-point traffic communications. MACsec provides encrypted communication at the link layer that is capable of identifying and preventing threats from denial of service (DoS) and other intrusion attacks, as well as man-in-the-middle, masquerading, passive wiretapping, and playback attacks launched from behind the firewall. When MACsec is deployed on ports, the traffic is encrypted on the wire, but the traffic inside the switch is not. This allows the switch to apply network policies such as quality of service (QoS) or deep packet inspection (DPI) to each packet without compromising the security of packets on the wire.  

    PoE/PoE+/PoE++ Power, Perpetual and Fast PoE

    The EX4100 delivers PoE for supporting connected devices such as phones, surveillance cameras, IoT devices, and 802.11AX/Wi-Fi 6 access points, offering a PoE power budget of up to 1620W and supporting up to 90W per port based on the IEEE 802.3bt PoE standard. EX4100 switches support perpetual PoE, which provides uninterrupted power to connected PoE powered devices (PDs) even when the EX4100 switch is rebooting. The EX4100 switches also support a fast PoE capability that delivers PoE power to connected endpoints during a switch power-up, even before the switch is fully operational. This is especially beneficial in situations where the endpoint only needs the power and is not necessarily dependent on network connectivity.  

    Junos Telemetry Interface

    The EX4100 supports Junos telemetry interface (JTI), a modern telemetry streaming feature designed for switch health and performance monitoring. Sensor data can be streamed to a management system at configurable periodic intervals, enabling network administrators to monitor individual link and node utilization as well as troubleshoot issues such as network congestion in real time. JTI delivers the following features:
    • Performance management by provisioning sensors to collect and stream data and analyze application and workload flow paths through the network
    • Capacity planning and optimization by proactively detecting hotspots and monitoring latency and microbursts
    • Troubleshooting and root cause analysis via high-frequency monitoring and correlation of overlay and underlay networks
     

    Junos Operating System

    The EX4100 switches run Junos OS, Juniper’s powerful and robust network operating system that powers all Juniper switches, routers, and firewalls. By utilizing a common operating system, Juniper delivers a consistent implementation and operation of control plane features across all products. To maintain that consistency, Junos OS adheres to a highly disciplined development process that uses a single source code and employs a highly available modular architecture to prevent isolated failures from bringing down an entire system. These attributes are fundamental to the core value of the software, enabling all Junos OS-powered products to be updated simultaneously with the same software release. All features are fully regression tested, making each new release a true superset of the previous version. Customers can deploy the software with complete confidence that all existing capabilities are maintained and operate in the same way.  

    Flex Licensing

    Juniper Flex licensing offers a common, simple, and flexible licensing model for EX Series access switches, enabling customers to purchase features based on their network and business needs. Flex licensing is offered in Standard, Advanced, and Premium tiers. Standard tier features are available with the Junos OS image that ships with EX Series switches.

    Data Center Server Access

    The QFX5120-48Y and QFX5120-48YM support tri-speed 1GbE/10GbE/25GbE, making them a perfect fit for top-of-rack deployments. The 48 ports of native 10GbE/25GbE for server connectivity, plus up to eight 40GbE or 100GbE ports for uplink connectivity, provide very low oversubscription of 1.5:1 from access to aggregation. The QFX5120-48T supports dual-speed 1GbE/10GbE, also making it a perfect fit for top-of-rack deployments. The 48 native 10GbE RJ-45 copper ports for server connectivity, plus up to six 40GbE or 100GbE ports for uplink connectivity, provide an unsubscribed (0.8:1) access-to-aggregation ratio. The QFX5120-32C can also be used for high-density 25GbE server connectivity, with an option to break out the 100GbE ports into four 25GbE ports.
    In Figure 1, the QFX5120 is deployed as a leaf acting as an edge-routed gateway. In this topology, the VXLAN tunnel encapsulation and decapsulation take place on the QFX5120 leaf switches, while Juniper Networks QFX5200-32C or Juniper Networks QFX5210-64C spine switches are used for IP transit. Juniper Networks QFX5110-32Q switches can also be used in the spine to build a 40GbE fabric.

    Figure 1: Edge-routed bridging at the leaf with QFX5200-32C/QFX5210-64C as spine switches
    In Figure 2, the QFX5120-48YM leaf and Juniper Networks QFX10008 Switch spine are deployed as EVPN-VXLAN switches acting as centrally routed gateways or distributed edge-routed gateways. If centrally routed bridging is used, the VXLAN tunnel encapsulation and decapsulation occur on the spine switches for inter-IRB (integrated routing and bridging) symmetric routing purposes. If edge-routed bridging is used, the IP first hop gateways are distributed at the leaf-level QFX5120-48YM switches using Type 5 symmetric inter-IRB routing. When using a QFX10000-30C-M MACsec line card installed in a spine QFX10008 Switch working with a leaf QFX5120-48YM switch, the leaf-to-spine architecture offers end-to-end MACsec AES-256 capabilities.

    Data Center Spine

    The QFX5120-32C, with 32 ports of 100GbE, can serve as the spine in small to medium-sized enterprise data centers. The QFX5120-32C can be deployed in a three-stage IP Clos with EVPN-VXLAN overlay to support as many as 1500 server access ports. The QFX5120-48Y/QFX5120-48YM and QFX5120-32C can also be used as a collapsed spine data center deployment, offering Ethernet segment identifier-link aggregation group (ESI-LAG) connectivity to the rest of the network infrastructure blocks. All QFX5120 switches can operate in both cut-through and store-and-forward modes, delivering sustained wire-speed switching with sub-microsecond latency and low jitter for any packet size (including jumbo frames) in either mode. With features such as multichassis link aggregation (MC-LAG), the QFX5120 supports active/active server dual-homing and can use full bisectional bandwidth from server to switch. Equipped with Junos OS, the QFX5120 supports the most advanced and robust routing capabilities in the industry, OSPF for both IPv4 and IPv6, as well as advanced routing capabilities such as IS-IS and BGP. With additional capabilities such as 64-way equal-cost multipath (ECMP) and BGP add path, the QFX5120 is an ideal building block for deploying the most robust L3 underlay for SDN.  

    Campus Deployments

    Juniper campus fabrics provide a single, standards-based Ethernet VPN-Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) solution that can be deployed in any campus, whether a two-tier network with a collapsed core distribution or a campus-wide system that involves multiple buildings with separate distribution and core layers. The QFX5120-48Y and QFX5120-48YM are ideal as campus distribution switches with 10GbE/25GbE downlinks and 40GbE/100GbE uplinks supporting technologies like MC-LAG and EVPN multihoming. The QFX5120-32C is ideal as a campus core switch with 32 ports of 100GbE and support for technologies like campus fabric core-distribution. The QFX5120-48T supports dual-speed 1GbE/10GbE, also making it a perfect fit for top-of-rack deployments in campus environments for server connectivity. Juniper campus fabrics support the following validated architectures:
    • MC-LAG and EVPN Multihoming (Collapsed Core/Distribution): A pair of interconnected QFX5120 switches can be deployed to provide EVPN multihoming (ESI-LAG) or multichassis link aggregation (MC-LAG) in a collapsed core/distribution configuration. This eliminates the need for Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) across the campus network by providing multihoming capabilities from the access to the distribution layer, while distribution to the core is an L3 IP fabric. ESI-LAG also supports horizontal scaling with more than two devices in the distribution layer and can extend EVPN to the core.
    • Campus Fabric Core-Distribution: A pair of interconnected QFX5120 switches can provide EVPN L2 and L3 VXLAN gateway support. This eliminates the need for STP across the campus network by providing a multihoming capability from the access to the distribution layer, while distribution to the core is an L3 IP fabric using EVPN technology. The IP fabric can also extend to connect multiple enterprise buildings, while VXLAN allows stretching of L2 across buildings. An IP Clos network between the distribution and the core layers can exist in two modes, both of which are supported by the QFX5120:
      • Centrally routed bridging overlay: An IRB interface placed at a central location in the fabric (in this case, a core device)
      • Edge routed bridging overlay: An IRB interface placed at the edge of the fabric (in this case, a distribution device)
    • Campus Fabric IP Clos: The Campus Fabric IP Clos architecture pushes VXLAN Layer 2/3 gateway functionality to the access layer. In this architecture, the QFX5120 switch acts as an IP fabric distribution switch.

    Features and Benefits

    • Automation: The QFX5120 supports a number of network automation and plug-and-play operational features, including ZTP and event scripts, automatic rollback, and Python scripting.
    • Flexible forwarding table: The QFX5120 includes a unified forwarding table, which allows the hardware table to be carved into configurable partitions of L2 media access control (MAC), L3 host, and longest prefix match (LPM) tables. In a pure L2 environment, the QFX5120 supports 288,000 MAC addresses. In L3 mode, the table can support 208,000 host entries. In LPM mode, it can support 351,000 prefixes. Junos OS provides configurable options through a CLI that can optimize the QFX5120 for various deployment scenarios.
    • Intelligent buffer management: The QFX5120 features a total of 32 MB of shared buffers. While 25% of the total buffer space is dedicated, the rest is shared among all ports and is user configurable. The intelligent buffer mechanism in the QFX5120 effectively absorbs traffic bursts while providing deterministic performance, significantly increasing performance over static allocation.
    • MPLS: A broad set of MPLS features, including L3 VPN, IPv6 provider edge router (6PE), RSVP traffic engineering, and LDP, allow standards-based network segmentation and virtualization, enabling the QFX5120 to be deployed as a low latency MPLS label-switching router (LSR).
    • VXLAN overlays: The QFX5120 switch is capable of both L2 and L3 gateway services. Customers can deploy overlay networks to provide L2 adjacencies for applications over L3 fabrics. The overlay networks use VXLAN in the data plane and EVPN or Open vSwitch Database (OVSDB) for programming the overlays.
    • MACsec and hop-by-hop encryption: The QFX5120-48YM supports IEEE 802.1AE MACsec AES-256, providing link-layer data confidentiality, data integrity, and data origin authentication. The MACsec feature enables the QFX5120-48YM to support 2 Tbps of near line-rate hardware-based traffic encryption on all 100GbE, 40GbE, 25GbE, 10GbE, and 1GbE ports. Defined by IEEE 802.1AE, MACsec provides secure, encrypted communication at the link layer that is capable of identifying and preventing threats from denial-of-service (DoS) and intrusion attacks, as well as man-in-the-middle, masquerading, passive wiretapping, and playback attacks launched from behind the firewall. When MACsec is deployed on switch ports, all traffic is encrypted on the wire, but traffic inside the switch is not. This allows the switch to apply network capabilities such as quality of service (QoS) and sFlow to each packet without compromising the security of packets on the wire.
    In addition, Ethernet-based WAN networks can use MACsec to provide link security over long haul connections. MACsec is transparent to Layer 3 and higher layer protocols and is not limited to IP traffic; it works with any type of wired or wireless traffic carried over Ethernet links.
    • Virtual chassis: The QFX5120 supports Juniper Networks’ unique virtual chassis technology, which enables up to two interconnected switches to operate as a single, logical device with a single IP address. This technology allows campus enterprises to eliminate STP and efficiently utilize network links. QFX5120-48Y (starting with Junos 19.3), QFX5120-32C (staring with Junos 20.3) and QFX5120-48T (starting with Junos 20.2) support virtual chassis. Note: QFX5120-48YM does not support virtual chassis at this time; this feature is reserved for a future release.

    Architecture and Key Components

    The QFX5220 can be used in L3 fabrics and L2 networks. You can choose the architecture that best suits your deployment needs and easily adapt and evolve as requirements change over time. The QFX5220 serves as the universal building block for these two switching architectures, enabling data center operators to build cloud networks in their own way.
    • Layer 3 fabric: For customers looking to build scale-out data centers, a Layer 3 spine-and-leaf Clos fabric provides predictable, nonblocking performance and scale characteristics. A two-tier fabric built with QFX5220 switches as leaf devices and Juniper Networks QFX10000 line of Switches as the spine can scale to support up to 128 40GbE ports or 128 25GbE and/or 10GbE server ports in a single fabric. One of the most complicated tasks when building an IP fabric is assigning all the implementation details, including IP addresses, BGP autonomous system numbers, routing policies, loopback address assignments, and others. Automating the creation of an IP fabric at a large scale is equally difficult. To address these challenges, Juniper has created the OpenClos project to provide free, open-source tools that automate the creation of IP fabrics in the data center. A set of Python scripts developed as an open-source project on GitHub, OpenClos takes a set of inputs that describe the shape and size of a data center and produces switch configuration files and a cabling plan
    Junos Evolved ensures a high feature and bug fix velocity and provides first-class access to system state, allowing customers to run DevOps tools, containerized applications, management agents, specialized telemetry agents, and more.

    Features and Benefits

    • Automation and programmability: The QFX5220 supports numerous network automation features, including operations and event scripts and ZTP.
    • Cloud-level scale and performance: The QFX5220 supports best-in-class cloud-scale L2/L3 deployments with a low latency of 750 ns and a superior scale and performance. This includes L2 support for 8192 media access control (MAC) addresses and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) learning, which scales up to 32,000 entries at 500 frames per second. It also includes L3 support for 336,000 longest prefix match (LPM) routes and 380,000 host routes on IPv4. Additionally, the QFX5220 supports 130,000 LPM routes and 130,000 host routes on IPv6, 128-way equal-cost multipath (ECMP) routes, and a filter that supports 768 (ingress) and 2558 (egress) exact match filtering rules. The QFX5220 supports up to 128 link aggregation groups, 4096 VLANs, and Jumbo frames of 9216 bytes. Junos Evolved provides configurable options through a CLI, enabling each QFX5220 to be optimized for different deployment scenarios.
     Ingress/egress scale numbers may be lower when used concurrently.
    • MPLS: The QFX5220 supports a broad set of MPLS features, including L3 VPN, RSVP traffic engineering, and LDP to support standards-based multitenancy and network virtualization with per-flow service-level agreements (SLAs) at scale. The QFX5220 can also be deployed as a low-latency MPLS label-switching router (LSR) or MPLS provider edge (PE) router in smaller scale environments. The QFX5220, along with Juniper Networks QFX5100 and QFX5200 switches, are the most compact, low-latency, high-density, low-power family of switches to offer an MPLS feature set in the industry.
    • IEEE 1588 PTP Boundary Clock with Hardware Timestamping*: IEEE 1588 PTP Transparent/Boundary Clock is supported on QFX5220, enabling accurate and precise sub-microsecond timing information in today’s data center networks. In addition, the QFX5220 supports hardware timestamping; timestamps in Precision Time Protocol (PTP) packets are captured and inserted by an onboard field-programmable gate array (FPGA) on the switch at the physical (PHY) level.
    • Data packet timestamping*: When the optional data packet timestamping feature is enabled, selected packets flowing through QFX5220 switches are timestamped with references to the recovered PTP clock. When these packets are received by nodes in the network, the packet timestamping information can be mirrored onto monitoring tools for detailed analysis, helping identify bottlenecks in the network that cause latency. This information also helps with network performance analysis and record keeping for legal and compliance purposes, which is required by certain business transactions such as financial trading, video streaming, and research establishments.
    • RoCEv2: As a switch capable of transporting data as well as storage traffic over Ethernet, the QFX5220 provides an IEEE data center bridging (DCB) converged network between servers with disaggregated flash storage arrays or an NVMe-enabled storage area network (SAN). The QFX5220 offers a full-featured DCB implementation that provides strong monitoring capabilities on the top-of-rack switch for SAN and LAN administration teams to maintain clear separation of management. The RDMA over Converged Ethernet version 2 (RoCEv2) transit switch functionality, including priority-based flow control (PFC) and Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange (DCBX), are included as part of the default software.
    • Junos OS Evolved: Junos Evolved is a native Linux operating system that incorporates a modular design of independent functional components and enables individual components to be upgraded independently while the system remains operational. Component failures are localized to the specific component involved and can be corrected by upgrading and restarting that specific component without having to bring down the entire device.
    • Retained state: State is the retained information or status pertaining to physical and logical entities. It includes both operational and configuration state, comprising committed configuration, interface state, routes, hardware state, and what is held in a central database called the distributed data store (DDS). State information remains persistent, is shared across the system, and is supplied during restarts.
    • Feature support: All key networking functions such as routing, bridging, management software, and management plane interfaces, as well as APIs such as CLI, NETCONF, Juniper Extension Toolkit (JET), Junos Telemetry Interface (JTI), and the underlying data models, resemble those supported by Junos. This ensures compatibility and eases the transition to Junos Evolved.

    Junos Telemetry Interface

    The QFX5220 supports Junos Telemetry Interface (JTI), a modern telemetry streaming tool that provides performance monitoring in complex, dynamic data centers. Streaming data to a performance management system lets network administrators measure trends in link and node utilization and troubleshoot issues such as network congestion in real time. JTI provides:
    • Application visibility and performance management by provisioning sensors to collect and stream data and analyze the application and workload flow path through the network
    • Capacity planning and optimization by proactively detecting hotspots and monitoring latency and microbursts
    • Troubleshooting and root cause analysis via high-frequency monitoring and correlating overlay and underlay networks.

    Product Description

    Network operators are increasingly deploying scale-out, spine-and-leaf IP fabric architectures, built with fixed-configuration switches to support growing east-west traffic in the data center. The Juniper Networks® QFX5200 line of next-generation, fixed-configuration leaf/access switches offers flexible, cost-effective, high-density 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE, and 100GbE interfaces for server and intra-fabric connectivity, providing deployment versatility, investment protection, and future-proofing for today’s data centers. In addition to leaf deployments in IP fabric architectures, the QFX5200 switches are also a great fit for multitier, multichassis link aggregation (MC-LAG) network implementations commonly used in enterprise networks. Like other QFX Series switches, the QFX5200 supports advanced Layer 2, Layer 3, and MPLS features. For large public cloud providers—among the first to adopt 25GbE servers to meet explosive workload growth—the QFX5200 enables very large, dense, and fast IP fabrics based on proven, Internet scale technology. For enterprise customers seeking investment protection as they transition their server farms from 10GbE to 25GbE, the QFX5200 line provides native 10GbE and 25GbE downlink ports as well as 40GbE and 100GbE uplink connections.

    Architecture and Key Components

    The QFX5200 can be used in L3 fabrics and L2 networks with MC-LAG. You can choose the architecture that best suits your deployment needs and easily adapt and evolve as requirements change over time. The QFX5200 switch serves as the universal building block for these two switching architectures, enabling data center operators to build cloud networks their way.
    • Layer 3 fabric: For customers looking to build scale-out data centers, a Layer 3 spine-and-leaf Clos fabric is ideal due to its predictable, nonblocking performance and scale characteristics. For example, a two-tier fabric built with QFX5200 switches as leafs and Juniper Networks QFX10000 switches as the spine can scale to support up to 18,432 40GbE ports, or 36,864 25GbE or 10GbE server ports in a single fabric. One of the most complicated tasks in building an IP fabric is assigning all of the implementation details, including IP addresses, BGP autonomous system (AS) numbers, routing policies, loopback address assignments, and many others. Automating the creation of an IP fabric at a large scale is equally difficult. To address these challenges, Juniper has created the OpenClos project to provide free and open-source tools that automate the creation of IP fabrics in the data center. A set of Python scripts developed as an open-source project that live on GitHub, OpenClos takes a set of inputs that describe the shape and size of a data center and outputs switch configuration files, as well as a cabling plan.
    • MC-LAG: The QFX5200 supports the MC-LAG protocol between two switches to eliminate Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) in traditional L2 networks when deployed in the aggregation layer. The active/active operation of MC-LAG ensures complete bandwidth utilization between the network’s access and aggregation layers, while the dual control plane technology ensures the highest availability for applications.

    Carrier-Class Network Operating System

    The QFX5200 runs the same Junos OS used by all other Juniper Networks QFX Series and EX Series Ethernet Switches, as well as the Juniper routers that power the world’s largest and most complex networks. By using a common operating system, Juniper delivers a consistent implementation and operation of control plane features across all products. Junos OS employs a highly available modular architecture that prevents isolated failures from bringing down an entire system. Key Junos OS features that enhance the functionality and capabilities of the QFX5200 include:
    • Software modularity, with process modules running independently in their own protected memory space and with the ability to do process restarts
    • Commit and rollback functionality, which ensures error-free network configurations
    • A powerful set of scripts for on-box problem detection, reporting, and resolution
    Figure 4: Junos OS software infrastructure

    Junos Telemetry Interface

    The QFX5200 supports Junos Telemetry Interface (JTI)*, a modern telemetry streaming tool designed for performance monitoring in complex, dynamic data centers. Streaming data to a performance management system enables network administrators to measure trends in link and node utilization, and troubleshoot such issues as network congestion in real time. JTI provides these capabilities:
    • Application visibility and performance management by provisioning sensors to collect and stream data and analyze application and workload flow path through the network.
    • Capacity planning and optimization by proactively detecting hotspots and monitoring latency and microbursts.
    • Troubleshooting and root cause analysis via high-frequency monitoring and correlating overlay and underlay networks

    Features and Benefits

    • Automation and Programmability: The QFX5200 supports numerous network automation features, including operations and event scripts, ZTP, and Juniper plug-ins for OpenStack Neutron.
    • Flexible Forwarding Table: The QFX5200 switch’s Flexible Forwarding Table (FFT) allows the hardware table to be carved into configurable partitions of L2 media access control (MAC), L3 host, and longest prefix match (LPM) tables. In a pure L2 environment, the QFX5200 supports 136,000 MAC addresses; in L3 mode, the table supports 104,000 host entries; while in LPM mode, it supports 128,000 prefixes. A filter-based forwarding mode supports 64,000 exact match filtering rules. Junos OS provides configurable options through a CLI, enabling each QFX5200 to be optimized for different deployment scenarios.
    • MPLS: The QFX5200 supports a broad set of MPLS features, including L3 VPN, RSVP traffic engineering, and LDP to support standards-based multitenancy and network virtualization with per-flow SLAs at scale. The QFX5200 can also be deployed as a low-latency MPLS label-switching router (LSR) or MPLS provider edge (PE) router in smaller scale environments. The QFX5200 and the Juniper Networks QFX5100 switch are the industry’s most compact, low-latency, high-density, low-power family of switches to offer an MPLS feature set.
    • FCoE: As a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) transit switch, the QFX5200 provides an IEEE data center bridging (DCB) converged network between FCoE-enabled servers and an FCoE-to-FC gateway or FCoE-enabled Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN). The QFX5200 offers a full-featured DCB implementation that provides strong monitoring capabilities on the top-of-rack switch for SAN and LAN administration teams to maintain clear separation of management. In addition, FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP) snooping provides perimeter protection, ensuring that the presence of an Ethernet layer does not impact existing SAN security policies. FCoE LAG support transports FCoE traffic and regular Ethernet traffic across the same link aggregation bundle over ports on a converged network adapter (CNA), while guaranteeing that the same physical link is used for an FCoE point-to-point virtual connection.
    The FCoE transit switch functionality, including priority-based flow control (PFC) and Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange (DCBX), are included as part of the default software.

    QFX5200-32C-S Hardware with SONiC Support

    The QFX5200-32C-S Switch supports Juniper’s SONiC implementation, delivering best-of-breed hardware and routing for cloud providers while taking advantage of the flexibility, resiliency, and cost savings of SONiC’s open and disaggregated architecture. The SONiC-enabled QFX5200-32C-S, which plugs seamlessly into a unified SONiC network infrastructure, leverages the existing QFX5200-32C hardware and includes support for ONIE and IDEEPROM TLV formats. ONIE and SONiC images are installed on the hardware at the factory. The Juniper-provided SONiC image includes the platform and FRU device drivers only; it does not include Juniper software features such as Layer 2, Layer 3, MPLS, EVPN, and VXLAN, among others. The platform and FRU device drivers are uploaded to the SONiC Github open source repository. Customers can use their private SONiC patches by building and upgrading the ONIE and SONiC images on the switch. Juniper complements the SONiC OS with the containerized Routing Protocol Daemon (cRPD), a full-function routing and management stack packaged as a container, ensuring a common end-to-end routing experience across different tiers in the data center. In addition, the cRPD enables high-performance telemetry, automation, and programmability in a lightweight deployment.

    Product Description

    Network operators are increasingly deploying scale-out spine-and-leaf IP fabric architectures built with fixed-configuration switches to support growing east-west traffic in the data center. The Juniper Networks® QFX5210 Switch is a next-generation, fixed-configuration spine/leaf switch that offers flexible, cost-effective, high-density 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE interfaces for IP fabric networks, providing deployment versatility, investment protection, and future-proofing for today’s data centers. The QFX5210 Switch’s high port density also contributes to simplified Clos architectures, eliminating network tiers while reducing complexity and cost. Like other Juniper Networks QFX Series Switches, the QFX5210 supports advanced L2, L3, and MPLS features. For large public cloud providers—among the first to adopt 25GbE servers to meet explosive workload growth—the QFX5210 enables very large, dense, and fast IP fabrics based on proven Internet scale technology. The QFX5210 runs the same reliable, high-performance Junos® operating system used by network operators around the world.

    QFX5210 Deployment Options

    Table 1 shows some of the many QFX5210 deployment options, including top-of-rack access as well as spine-and-leaf configurations in a centralized or distributed gateway architecture.
    Table 1. QFX5210 Deployment Options
    Port Combinations Deployment
    64x100GbE Spine/leaf
    96x25GbE + 8x100GbE 25GbE access
    The QFX5210 can be positioned as a top-of-rack device in a centralized gateway architecture (also known as centrally routed bridging, or CRB). Figure 1 shows the QFX5210 deployed as an access switch with the Juniper Networks QFX10000 line of Switches acting as the spine device configured as a central gateway. In this topology, the QFX10000 can also be configured as a collapsed spine and edge device, acting as a central gateway for Ethernet VPN (EVPN)-Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), MPLS, and other tunneling protocols. The 100GbE ports on the QFX5210 can be channelized to support 4x25GbE or 4x10GbE downlinks.
    Figure 1: QFX5210 and QFX10002 in a leaf-spine deployment with centralized gateway
    The QFX5210 can also be positioned as a lean spine device in a distributed gateway architecture (also known as edge-routed bridging, or ERB). Figure 2 shows QFX5120 switches deployed as access switches configured as distributed gateways and QFX5210 switches deployed as spine switches.
    Figure 2: QFX5120 and QFX5210 leaf-spine deployment with distributed gateway

    Architecture and Key Components

    The QFX5210 is a compact, 2 U platform featuring 64 quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) transceivers or QSFP28 ports, with two redundant 1100 W AC/DC power supplies and four fan trays. A QSFP28 module can be used to provide a 1x100GbE connection or 4x25GbE connections using breakout cables. A QSFP+ module can be used to provide a 1x40GbE connection or 4x10GbE connections using breakout cables. The QFX5210 features a high-throughput 12.8 Tbps Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE). Control plane performance is further enhanced with the Intel Broadwell-DE, 4 Core, 2.2 GHz CPU, and 16 GB DDR4, 100 GB SSD storage. The QFX5210 can be used in L3 fabrics and L2 networks with multichassis link aggregation (MC-LAG). Customers can choose the architecture that best suits their deployment needs and easily adapt and evolve as requirements change over time. The QFX5210 switch serves as a universal building block for these switching architectures, enabling data center operators to build cloud networks their way.
    • IP Fabric: For customers looking to build scale-out data centers, an L3 spine-and-leaf Clos fabric is ideal due to its predictable, nonblocking performance and scale characteristics. For example, a two-tier fabric built with the QFX5210 Switch as leafs and QFX10000 Switches as the spine can scale to support up to 18,432 40GbE ports, or 36,864 25GbE or 10GbE server ports in a single fabric.
    • Overlays: Customers can deploy overlay networks to provide L2 adjacencies for applications over L3 fabrics. The overlay networks use VXLAN in the data plane and EVPN to program the overlays. The overlays can operate without a controller or can be orchestrated with a fabric management orchestrator to provide L2/L3 overlay virtual networking and security for bare-metal servers and virtual workloads. QFX5210 switches can also integrate with VMware NSX.
    • MC-LAG: The QFX5210 supports the MC-LAG protocol between two switches, eliminating Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) in traditional L2 networks when deployed in the aggregation layer. MC-LAG’s active/active operation ensures complete bandwidth utilization between the network’s access and aggregation layers, while the dual control plane technology ensures the highest availability for applications.

    • Automation and programmability: The QFX5210 supports numerous network automation features, including operations and event scripts, ZTP, and Juniper plug-ins for OpenStack Neutron.
    • Flexible Forwarding Table: The QFX5210 switch’s Flexible Forwarding Table (FFT) allows the hardware table to be carved into configurable partitions of L2 media access control (MAC), L3 host, and longest prefix match (LPM) tables. Junos OS provides configurable options through a CLI, enabling each QFX5210 to be optimized for different deployment scenarios.
    • MPLS: The QFX5210 supports a broad set of MPLS features, including L3 VPN, RSVP traffic engineering, and LDP to support standards-based multitenancy and network virtualization with per-flow SLAs at scale. The QFX5210 can also be deployed as a low-latency MPLS label-switching router (LSR) or MPLS provider edge (PE) router in smaller scale environments. The QFX5210, along with the Juniper Networks QFX5220, QFX5200, QFX5120, QFX5110, and QFX5100 switches, is among the industry’s most compact, low-latency, high-density, low-power family of switches to offer an MPLS feature set.
    • RoCEv2: As a switch capable of transporting data as well as storage traffic over Ethernet, the QFX5210 provides an IEEE data center bridging (DCB) converged network between servers with disaggregated flash storage arrays or an NVMe-enabled storage area network (SAN). The QFX5210 offers a full-featured DCB implementation that provides strong monitoring capabilities on the top- of-rack switch for SAN and LAN administration teams to maintain clear separation of management. The RDMA over Converged Ethernet version 2 (RoCEv2) transit switch functionality, including DiffServ code point (DSCP) priority-based flow control (PFC) and Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange (DCBX) with Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) are included as part of the default software.

    QFX5210-64C-S Hardware with SONiC Support

    The QFX5210-64C-S Switch supports Juniper’s SONiC implementation, delivering best-of-breed hardware and routing for cloud providers while taking advantage of the flexibility, resiliency, and cost savings of SONiC’s open and disaggregated architecture. The SONiC-enabled QFX5210-64C-S, which plugs seamlessly into a unified SONiC network infrastructure, leverages the existing QFX5210-64C hardware and includes support for ONIE and IDEEPROM TLV formats. ONIE and SONiC images are installed on the hardware at the factory. The Juniper-provided SONiC image includes the platform and FRU device drivers only; it does not include Juniper software features such as L2, L3, MPLS, EVPN, VXLAN, etc. The platform and FRU device drivers are uploaded to the SONiC Github open-source repository. Customers can use their private SONiC patches by building and upgrading the ONIE and SONiC images on the switch. Juniper complements the SONiC OS with the containerized routing protocol process (cRPD), a full-function routing and management stack packaged as a container, ensuring a common end-to-end routing experience across different tiers in the data center. In addition, cRPD enables high-performance telemetry, automation, and programmability in a lightweight deployment.

    Architecture and Key Components

    The QFX5220 can be used in L3 fabrics and L2 networks. You can choose the architecture that best suits your deployment needs and easily adapt and evolve as requirements change over time. The QFX5220 serves as the universal building block for these two switching architectures, enabling data center operators to build cloud networks in their own way.
    • Layer 3 fabric: For customers looking to build scale-out data centers, a Layer 3 spine-and-leaf Clos fabric provides predictable, nonblocking performance and scale characteristics. A two-tier fabric built with QFX5220 switches as leaf devices and Juniper Networks QFX10000 line of Switches as the spine can scale to support up to 128 40GbE ports or 128 25GbE and/or 10GbE server ports in a single fabric. One of the most complicated tasks when building an IP fabric is assigning all the implementation details, including IP addresses, BGP autonomous system numbers, routing policies, loopback address assignments, and others. Automating the creation of an IP fabric at a large scale is equally difficult. To address these challenges, Juniper has created the OpenClos project to provide free, open-source tools that automate the creation of IP fabrics in the data center. A set of Python scripts developed as an open-source project on GitHub, OpenClos takes a set of inputs that describe the shape and size of a data center and produces switch configuration files and a cabling plan
    Junos Evolved ensures a high feature and bug fix velocity and provides first-class access to system state, allowing customers to run DevOps tools, containerized applications, management agents, specialized telemetry agents, and more.

    Features and Benefits

    • Automation and programmability: The QFX5220 supports numerous network automation features, including operations and event scripts and ZTP.
    • Cloud-level scale and performance: The QFX5220 supports best-in-class cloud-scale L2/L3 deployments with a low latency of 750 ns and a superior scale and performance. This includes L2 support for 8192 media access control (MAC) addresses and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) learning, which scales up to 32,000 entries at 500 frames per second. It also includes L3 support for 336,000 longest prefix match (LPM) routes and 380,000 host routes on IPv4. Additionally, the QFX5220 supports 130,000 LPM routes and 130,000 host routes on IPv6, 128-way equal-cost multipath (ECMP) routes, and a filter that supports 768 (ingress) and 2558 (egress) exact match filtering rules. The QFX5220 supports up to 128 link aggregation groups, 4096 VLANs, and Jumbo frames of 9216 bytes. Junos Evolved provides configurable options through a CLI, enabling each QFX5220 to be optimized for different deployment scenarios.
     Ingress/egress scale numbers may be lower when used concurrently.
    • MPLS: The QFX5220 supports a broad set of MPLS features, including L3 VPN, RSVP traffic engineering, and LDP to support standards-based multitenancy and network virtualization with per-flow service-level agreements (SLAs) at scale. The QFX5220 can also be deployed as a low-latency MPLS label-switching router (LSR) or MPLS provider edge (PE) router in smaller scale environments. The QFX5220, along with Juniper Networks QFX5100 and QFX5200 switches, are the most compact, low-latency, high-density, low-power family of switches to offer an MPLS feature set in the industry.
    • IEEE 1588 PTP Boundary Clock with Hardware Timestamping*: IEEE 1588 PTP Transparent/Boundary Clock is supported on QFX5220, enabling accurate and precise sub-microsecond timing information in today’s data center networks. In addition, the QFX5220 supports hardware timestamping; timestamps in Precision Time Protocol (PTP) packets are captured and inserted by an onboard field-programmable gate array (FPGA) on the switch at the physical (PHY) level.
    • Data packet timestamping*: When the optional data packet timestamping feature is enabled, selected packets flowing through QFX5220 switches are timestamped with references to the recovered PTP clock. When these packets are received by nodes in the network, the packet timestamping information can be mirrored onto monitoring tools for detailed analysis, helping identify bottlenecks in the network that cause latency. This information also helps with network performance analysis and record keeping for legal and compliance purposes, which is required by certain business transactions such as financial trading, video streaming, and research establishments.
    • RoCEv2: As a switch capable of transporting data as well as storage traffic over Ethernet, the QFX5220 provides an IEEE data center bridging (DCB) converged network between servers with disaggregated flash storage arrays or an NVMe-enabled storage area network (SAN). The QFX5220 offers a full-featured DCB implementation that provides strong monitoring capabilities on the top-of-rack switch for SAN and LAN administration teams to maintain clear separation of management. The RDMA over Converged Ethernet version 2 (RoCEv2) transit switch functionality, including priority-based flow control (PFC) and Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange (DCBX), are included as part of the default software.
    • Junos OS Evolved: Junos Evolved is a native Linux operating system that incorporates a modular design of independent functional components and enables individual components to be upgraded independently while the system remains operational. Component failures are localized to the specific component involved and can be corrected by upgrading and restarting that specific component without having to bring down the entire device.
    • Retained state: State is the retained information or status pertaining to physical and logical entities. It includes both operational and configuration state, comprising committed configuration, interface state, routes, hardware state, and what is held in a central database called the distributed data store (DDS). State information remains persistent, is shared across the system, and is supplied during restarts.
    • Feature support: All key networking functions such as routing, bridging, management software, and management plane interfaces, as well as APIs such as CLI, NETCONF, Juniper Extension Toolkit (JET), Junos Telemetry Interface (JTI), and the underlying data models, resemble those supported by Junos. This ensures compatibility and eases the transition to Junos Evolved. 

    Junos Telemetry Interface

    The QFX5220 supports Junos Telemetry Interface (JTI), a modern telemetry streaming tool that provides performance monitoring in complex, dynamic data centers. Streaming data to a performance management system lets network administrators measure trends in link and node utilization and troubleshoot issues such as network congestion in real time. JTI provides:
    • Application visibility and performance management by provisioning sensors to collect and stream data and analyze the application and workload flow path through the network
    • Capacity planning and optimization by proactively detecting hotspots and monitoring latency and microbursts
    • Troubleshooting and root cause analysis via high-frequency monitoring and correlating overlay and underlay networks.

  • Product Overview

    Changing market dynamics have intensified the challenge of accommodating growth with traditional products and architectures. Juniper’s secure and automated solutions help cloud-based networks quickly react to these evolving conditions, accelerating service delivery with world-class products and innovative architectural components. PTX Series Fixed Configuration Routers with custom Express3 and Express4 silicon are an integral part of this solution, delivering a massively scalable and efficient core architecture across space- and power-constrained cloud provider, service provider, and enterprise networks, reducing TCO with innovative, highly flexible, high-performance platforms built for the most demanding environments.

    Product Description

    The Juniper Networks® PTX Series Packet Transport Routers transform the core network with physical and virtual innovations that deliver unprecedented scale at the lowest cost per bit. Four fixed-configuration platforms are available: the PTX1000 Packet Transport Router, the industry’s first 2 U packet transport routing device; the PTX10001-36MR Packet Transport Router, a compact, power-optimized 400GbE platform based on custom Express4 silicon; the PTX10002 Packet Transport Router, a second-generation device that doubles the density of the PTX1000 with Juniper Networks Express3™ silicon; and the PTX10003, the industry’s first 3U 400-GbE enabled packet transport routing device. These transport routers give cloud and communication providers the freedom to develop and deliver new virtualized services anywhere in the network with elastic architectures and precise traffic controls, without compromising the service experience.

    The Evolving Landscape

    New traffic dynamics such as mobility, video, and cloud-based services are transforming traditional network patterns and topologies. Stratified, statically designed, and manually operated networks must evolve to support the constantly growing volumes of traffic quickly and economically. Many operators have seen their profits stagnate and TCO grow under the burden that these growing traffic volumes are imposing. Cloud and service providers need to become more agile in order to optimize their existing network resources, shorten planning cycles, and remove rigid network layers. Operators are facing the following challenges under the current environment:
    • Static scale: The cloud and communication providers’ backbone handles the full weight of network traffic. Therefore, it is paramount that core networks are inherently designed for scalability and efficiency. The 400GbE-capable platforms, 100/400GbE inline MACsec, silicon, system, and SDN innovations for the core empower network operators to scale faster than the traffic in an elegant, elastic, redundant package—without requiring forklift upgrades.
    • Static architecture: Virtualized services and the explosion of cloud-based applications are creating increasingly unpredictable traffic patterns. To handle this unpredictability, service providers need a dynamic, scale-out architecture across all layers to create programmable, traffic-optimized networks that support any service, anywhere.
    • Power costs: For cloud and communication providers, the operational cost of transmitting a packet through the core is less than the cost of the power required to move that packet. In fact, projections suggest that over a few short years, the total power draw will exceed the cost of deploying the entire network infrastructure. Efficient power utilization by the core router requires a holistic ground-up engineering approach.
    • Facility limitations: Service providers cannot grow their facilities exponentially forever. They need innovations that provide a low-touch deployment model optimized around space availability, facility power requirements, and floor weight thresholds. Transport-oriented central office locations have the added burden of meeting European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standard depth. Any transit router innovation must operate within these constraints.
    In order to address these challenges, cloud and communication providers need an innovative, scalable core router that satisfies three defining principles: performance, deployability, and SDN programmability. The PTX1000, PTX10001-36MR, PTX10002, and PTX10003 fixed-configuration packet transport routers provide the foundation for a scale-out core backbone architecture, ensuring a consistent user experience across geographies. The PTX1000, PTX10001-36MR, PTX10002, and PTX10003 meet all existing traditional core requirements, easily fitting into cloud and communication provider networks that require transit-focused IP/MPLS applications such as Internet peering, scale-out metro and backbone topologies, and label-switching router (LSR) optimized deployments.

    Architecture and Key Components

    The PTX1000, PTX10001-36MR, PTX10002, and PTX10003 fixed-configuration packet transport routers bring physical and virtual innovation to the cloud and service provider core networks, addressing concerns about operational expenditures while scaling organically to keep pace with growing traffic demands with the following features:
    • Core routing: The PTX1000, PTX10001-36MR, PTX10002, and PTX10003 employ a massively scalable yet compact 1, 2, or 3 U form factor with secure connectivity and high flexibility.
    • Peering: The PTX Series fixed platforms are perfect for scale-out peering in space- and power-constrained environments with full traffic visibility and L3 services.
    • LSR: The PTX Series fixed platforms provide 2.88 Tbps to 16 Tbps aggregate capacity for multi-plane core networks as an LSR router. They can also be positioned as an LSR fabric node in spine-leaf architectures for increased scale and reduced blast radius.
    • CDN Gateway: The compact PTX Series offers high routing scale in a 1, 2, or 3 U fixed form factor for full traffic statistics visibility and deep buffers.
    • Data Center Interconnect (DCI): The PTX10001-36MR and PTX10003 offer secure inline MACsec with no compromise in throughput or latency, and an extended range enabled by 400GbE ZR / ZR+.

    Innovations in Silicon

    Physical innovations at the core silicon level enable the PTX Series fixed-configuration routers to reduce OpEx and accommodate scale-out architectures with smooth migration paths as traffic patterns change.

    Express3 and Express-Based Silicon

    The PTX1000 and PTX10002 are powered by Express3 silicon, delivering predictable IP/MPLS packet performance and functionality. The PTX10003 is powered by functionally equivalent Express3 Silicon to support high-density 100/200/400GbE interfaces and inline MACsec with no performance penalty while delivering the same IP/MPLS functionality. Express3 silicon eliminates the complex sawtooth packet profile found in elaborate, over-engineered network processing units (NPUs) deployed in other core routers. This delivers the peering scale required to match expanding traffic demands. These devices build upon the Juniper Networks Junos® Express silicon concepts of low consistent latency and wire-rate packet performance for both IP traffic and MPLS transport, without sacrificing the optimized system power profile. These concepts are incorporated into the PTX Series design along with full IP functionality, preserving the spirit of the original Junos Express chipset. The Express3 silicon is the first purpose-built telecommunications silicon to engineer a 3D memory architecture into the base design for more than 1.6 billion filter operations per second, dynamic table memory allocation for mammoth IP routing scale, and enormous power efficiency gains. The PTX10003 supports inline MACsec on all interfaces using 10/40/100GbE.

    Express4 Silicon

    The PTX10001-36MR is powered by the highly scalable, next-generation ASIC in the Express silicon family, Juniper Express4 silicon—the industry’s first inline MACsec for 400GbE chips that supports universal multirate QSFP56-DD. Juniper Express4 silicon delivers consistently low latency, 8m counters, 256 AES MACsec encryption supported on all ports, and wire-rate packet performance for IP traffic without sacrificing the optimized system power profile. Preserving the spirit of the Junos Express silicon family, Juniper Express4 silicon is the first purpose-built telecommunications silicon to incorporate a 3D memory architecture into the base design, offering the industry’s highest packet performance per gigabit in the fewest rack units. It also provides dynamic table memory allocation for massive IP routing scale while delivering tremendous power efficiency gains at 0.14 Watts/Gig. The ability to address a provider’s core networking requirements—scale, operational flexibility, and SDN control—begins with the silicon. With the PTX Series fixed-configuration routers, operators can now deploy a core architecture with SDN control. Combining Juniper Networks NorthStar Controller with a robust full-featured Internet backbone router, and a regional IP/MPLS core router with integrated 100GbE coherent transport for superior performance, operators can tune their network infrastructure through proactive monitoring and what-if planning capabilities. The NorthStar Controller dynamically creates explicit routing paths using a global view based on user-defined constraints to create a fully autonomous operation. Scale is one of the guiding design principles for the PTX Series routers, allowing network operators to smoothly handle increased traffic demands. The PTX Series fixed-configuration routers simplify network engineering challenges with predictable system latency, improving the overall service experience by delivering best-in-class resiliency to help providers meet strict customer service-level agreements (SLAs). Operational efficiency is another design attribute for the PTX Series routers, focusing on power, space, and weight—fundamental concerns that affect network operators’ operational budgets. Juniper has designed the PTX Series to fit the requirements of current and future data center facilities. SDN programmability brings virtual innovations to the service provider core, while the NorthStar Controller offers an open, standards-based solution that optimizes both the IP layer and the transport layer with precise SDN control, allowing network operators to fully automate and scale their operations with ease.
