Market Landscape
Traditionally, core routing has been a domain that has always dealt with two primary enabling characteristics—speed and
feed. These characteristics are still the most dominant enablers where core routers are concerned in a network. However,
attributes such as integration abilities with the underlying optical infrastructure, and programmability and intelligent control
(that is, software-defined networking (SDN) capabilities) are defining the evolution of the next-generation of core routers.
Today, from a use case standpoint, the domain and scope of core routing has expanded from a singular use case of a dense
aggregator and high-speed forwarder, into multiple use cases. Today, the use cases for core routing include a pure-play
IP/MPLS router, Internet peering, data center interconnect, and metro packet optical core. With this expanded scope in core
routing, the criteria for choosing the right core platform has also extended beyond the traditional comparative attributes of
speed and feed.

The core market is a unique market segment within the routing market. The core market is not a simple adjacent market to
the edge market, although strong edge-players advocate this viewpoint.
Core routers must have stability in the control plane, robust operating systems and hardware, resilience and resistance to
network failures, and tremendous scale and longevity. Many edge routers have very rich feature sets, but when edge routers
enter the core there is a general compromise of all of the aforementioned attributes to some degree. This compromise is
not acceptable in core networks.

New traffic dynamics such as mobility, video, and cloud-based services, are transforming traditional network patterns and
topologies. Statically designed and manually operated networks must evolve to meet demands quickly and more
economically. Many operators have seen profitability stagnate and TCO increase under the weight that growing traffic
demands have placed upon them.
Network operators for traditional models overprovision infrastructure months in advance in anticipation of increasingly
unpredictable traffic patterns and volumes. This causes providers to bear huge capital expenditures in idle anticipation of
the future. This imbalance in the fundamental financial equation can no longer be sustained—operators need to become
more agile in order to optimize their existing network resources, shorten planning cycles, and remove rigid network layers.
Once this is done, service providers can begin leveraging a highly intelligent “supercore” infrastructure to increase revenues
by creating new, customizable, services.

In order to address these challenges, service providers need an innovative core router that delivers three defining principles:
superior performance, elegant deployability, and SDN optimization with multilayer SDN programmability. With Juniper
Networks PTX Series routers, Juniper has the industry’s only core router that exceeds these requirements and easily fits into
the service provider network, expanding the Juniper Networks Converged Supercore architecture beyond lean LSR
deployment, as illustrated on this slide.
Juniper’s Converged Supercore architecture redefines the way networks are built by collapsing multiple layers into a flat
elastic fabric, including performance-optimized IP/MPLS routing and metro/long-haul DWDM layers. The Converged
Supercore architecture builds upon the virtual integration of IP/MPLS technology and integrated coherent interfaces for
extended terrestrial optical interconnect with a centralized, near-real-time traffic optimization SDN controller. The extensible
Juniper Networks NorthStar Controller automates the creation of traffic-engineering paths across the network, increasing
network utilization and enabling a customized programmable networking experience.

NorthStar Controller
Service providers and large enterprises are under increasing pressure to rapidly deploy services while reducing overall
CapEx and OpEx. It is no longer economically viable to tolerate idle network infrastructure while passively anticipating future
growth requirements. Network managers need to move to an operational model where capacity upgrades are targeted,
service-driven, and can adapt dynamically and in real time to the ever-changing needs of their customers.
Juniper Networks NorthStar Controller is a powerful and flexible traffic-engineering solution that enables granular visibility
and control of IP/MPLS flows in large service provider and enterprise networks. It enables network operators to optimize
their network infrastructure through proactive monitoring, planning, and explicit routing of large traffic loads dynamically,
based on the constraints specified. This allows operators to run their networks “hotter” while ensuring predictability,
resiliency, and service-level guarantees. NorthStar Controller leverages IETF and Web protocol standards to ensure
seamless integration into multivendor infrastructure and existing OSS/BSS systems. NorthStar Controller is the industry’s
first multi-layer controller that can dynamically interact with transport/optical controllers and reroute IP/MPLS flows,
adapting to real-time changes in multiple layers.
Juniper Professional Services offers a JumpStart service to help with the initial implementation and configuration of the
NorthStar Controller. For more information, you can access the NorthStar JumpStart service datasheet by clicking the
NorthStar Controller icon on this screen.
NorthStar supports Juniper Network MX Series (including vMX), PTX Series, M Series, and T Series routers, and also third-
party routers supporting RFC 5440.

PTX3000 Overview
The PTX3000 is a dense, ultra-compact 8 Tbps core router that is highly optimized to meet the service provider challenges
of space and power. Designed for IP/MPLS applications (Internet backbone, peering, and label-switched routing), regional
cores, space-constrained central offices (COs), and colocation facilities, the PTX3000 provides outstanding efficiency for
your Converged Supercore architecture.
A 22 U, eight-slot router, the PTX3000 supports up to eight FPCs, each supporting one PIC. It delivers the best of the packet
and transport worlds—the flexibility of a packet network with the reliability of transport. Up to 768 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 192
40-Gigabit Ethernet, and 80 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports are supported on the PTX3000.
Featuring 300mm ETSI-compliant depth, 8 Tbps forwarding capacity, and using only 6.3 kilowatts of power when fully
loaded, the PTX3000 achieves new limits of efficiency. It beats similar products by two to six times on efficiency metrics of
power, cooling, and space, while delivering very dense, integrated, coherent DWDM 100-Gigabit Ethernet transport.
For the PTX3000, the first generation FPC1 cards (FPC-SFF-PTX-P1 and FPC-SFF-PTX-T) have a capacity of 240 Gbps per
slot, while the third generation FPC3 cards (FPC3-SFF-PTX-U0 and FPC3-SFF-PTX-U1), which use a different ASIC, offer
increased FIB capacity to address IP core/peering use-cases and provide 500 Gbps and 1 Tbps capacity, respectively. A
second generation FPC is not available for the PTX3000. Refer to the latest release notes for the current capabilities based
on the FPCs used.

PTX1000 Overview
The PTX1000 router provides high-density 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 40-Gigabit Ethernet, and 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for
distributed core networks and network applications, meeting the demands of Internet service providers and high-volume
content providers.
Occupying only two rack units, the PTX1000 is the industry’s first fixed-configuration core router that enables service
providers to organically distribute peering points throughout the network. It uses a rich IP/MPLS feature set without
sacrificing performance or deployability, two factors on which TCO pivots for service providers.
With 2.88 Tbps of forwarding capacity and 72 ports, the PTX1000 supports flexible interface configuration options. Each of
the 72 network ports on the port panel supports QSFP+ transceivers. By default, the network ports operate as channelized 4
by 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces—using QSFP+ to SFP+ fiber breakout cables—for a maximum of 288 10-Gigabit Ethernet
ports. You can configure each of the 72 ports as a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface in groups of three ports—in other words,
when you configure the first port in a port group to operate at 40 Gbps, that port and the next two ports will operate at 40
Gbps each. You can also configure 24 of the 72 network ports as 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The 24 network ports that
can be configured as 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces support QSFP28 transceivers. Two adjacent ports will be disabled
when configuring 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Like other routers in the PTX Series, the PTX1000 is powered by Juniper ExpressPlus custom silicon to deliver predictable
IP/MPLS packet performance and functionality.

Unified ISSU
Unified in-service software upgrade (unified ISSU) is a key feature of the PTX Series and other Juniper devices. Unified ISSU
enables you to upgrade a device between two different Junos OS Releases with no disruption on the control plane and with
minimal disruption of traffic. Unified ISSU is only supported by dual Routing Engine platforms. The master Routing Engine
and backup Routing Engine must be running the same software version before you can perform a unified ISSU. In addition,
graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) and nonstop active routing (NSR) must be enabled.
With a unified ISSU, you can eliminate network downtime, reduce operating costs, and deliver higher services levels.
Slide 24
GRES: NSR:
• Enables a dual Routing Engine • Switches to the backup Routing
platform to continue forwarding Engine without alerting peer
packets, even if one Routing nodes
Engine fails
© 2017 Juniper Networks, Inc. All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL SSMT04E-ML5 www.juniper.net | 24
There are multiple factors to consider regarding a unified ISSU. Be sure to check the latest documentation to view the
considerations surrounding topics such as: specific router model considerations, platform, protocol, feature, and interface
module support, and so forth. To access an interactive tool for verifying support for unified ISSU, visit the Juniper Networks
Feature Explorer at the link shown on this slide.
As we have mentioned, to perform a unified ISSU, GRES and NSR must be enabled. GRES allows a routing platform with
redundant Routing Engines to continue forwarding packets, even if one Routing Engine fails. GRES preserves interface and
kernel information. Traffic is not interrupted. However, GRES does not preserve the control plane—neighboring routers
detect that the router has experienced a restart and react to the event in a manner prescribed by individual routing protocol
specifications.
Nonstop active routing (NSR) enables a routing platform with redundant Routing Engines to switch from a primary Routing
Engine to a backup Routing Engine without alerting peer nodes that a change has occurred. NSR uses the same
infrastructure as GRES to preserve interface and kernel information. However, NSR also preserves routing information and
protocol sessions by running the routing protocol process (rpd) on both Routing Engines. In addition, NSR preserves TCP
connections maintained in the kernel.

The midplane of the PTX5000 router is located in the center of the chassis and forms the rear of the FPC card cage. The
FPCs install into the midplane from the front of the chassis; and the Switch Interface Boards (SIBs), Routing Engines (REs),
Control Boards (CBs), Centralized Clock Generators (CCGs), and power distribution units (PDUs) install into the midplane
from the rear of the chassis. Power supply modules (PSMs) are installed into the PDUs. The cooling system components also
connect to the midplane.
Slide 30
CHAS-MP-PTX5000-S CHAS-MP2-PTX5K-S-A
The PTX5000 has had two midplane chassis models—the original Base1 chassis and the currently available Base2 chassis.
The original PTX5000Base (or Base1) chassis supports either the PDU1/PSM1 or the high-capacity PDU2/PSM2, and
supports all three generations of FPC except for the 3 Tbps version of the FPC3. You can identify the chassis by finding the
model number on one of the labels attached to the right side of the chassis, next to the serial number label. The label
should read PID: CHAS-MP-PTX5K-S. This chassis has reached End of Life (EOL).
First supported in Junos 14.1, the current PTX5000BASE2 model is a chassis with an enhanced midplane that requires the
high-capacity 60 amp PDU2 and PSM2. PDU1 and PSM1 are not supported in the PTX5000Base2 chassis. The
PTX5000Base2 chassis is designed to support 3 Tbps per slot and beyond. The enhanced midplane is identified as
Midplane-8Se in the output from the show chassis hardware operational mode CLI command. The earlier,
PTX5000Base mid-plane is identified as Midplane-8s in its CLI output. You can identify the PTX5000Base2 chassis by
finding the model number on one of the labels attached to the right side of the chassis, next to the serial number label. The

The Routing Engines and the PFEs perform their primary tasks independently, but communicate through multiple links. This
arrangement streamlines forwarding and routing control and runs Internet-scale backbone networks at high speeds.
The backplane is located in the rear of the card cage that contains the chassis components. All components install into the
backplane from the front of the chassis. The backplane performs the following major functions:
• Provides a data path: Data packets are transferred across the backplane from the PFE on the originating FPC to the SIBs,
and from the SIBs across the backplane to the PFE on the destination FPC.
• Enables power distribution: The PSMs are connected to the backplane. The backplane distributes power to all the packet
transport router components.
• Provides a signal path: The backplane provides the signal path to the FPCs, SIBs, Routing Engines, Control Boards, and
other system components for monitoring and control of the system.

PTX1000 Components
The PTX1000 is a fixed configuration core router and supports flexible interface configuration options. With cutting-edge
innovation in power and cooling technology, the PTX1000 is the only fixed configuration core router that provides 2.88 Tbps
of capacity in a 2 U form factor.
The PTX1000 supports flexible interface configuration options ranging from 288 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces using a
QSFP+ with breakout cables, 72 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces using QSFP+, and 24 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces using
QSFP28.
The same ExpressPlus silicon that powers the PTX5000 and PTX3000 FPC3 line cards also powers the PTX1000. Not only
does the entire PTX Series product family leverage the same ExpressPlus silicon, they also share the same Virtual Output
Queuing (VOQ)-based forwarding architecture. By leveraging the same forwarding architecture across the entire product line,
service providers will experience the same performance and feature sets across all three platforms.
Slide 33
ExpressPlus Silicon
© 2017 Juniper Networks, Inc. All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL SSMT04E-ML5 www.juniper.net | 33
ExpressPlus Silicon
PTX Series routers are powered by Juniper Networks ExpressPlus silicon, building upon the Juniper Networks Junos Express
silicon concepts of consistent low latency and wire-rate packet performance for both IP traffic and MPLS transport without
sacrificing the optimized system power profile. All of these concepts are incorporated into the design along with full IP
functionality, preserving the spirit of the original Junos Express chipset. The ExpressPlus silicon is the first purpose-built
telecommunication silicon to engineer a 3D memory architecture into the base design for over 1.6 billion filter operations
per second, a large FIB (IPv4 and IPv6) to handle future Internet growth, and enormous power efficiency gains. The ability to
address service provider core networking requirements of performance, deployability, and SDN control begins with the
silicon. The integration of optical transport with 100-Gigabit Ethernet coherent technology further improves the economics
of the core network.
With PTX Series routers powered by ExpressPlus silicon, service providers can now deploy a Converged Supercore
architecture with the efficiency of a lean core deployment with Juniper Networks NorthStar Controller SDN control, a robust
full-featured Internet backbone router, and a converged regional IP/MPLS core router with integrated 100-Gigabit Ethernet
coherent transport for superior performance, elegant deployment, and SDN programmability.
Slide 34

The PTX Series uses the concept of Virtual Output Queuing (VOQ). Each ingress line card has a dedicated input queue for
each output port. Thus the packets are buffered on the ingress line card only, but queued by the egress PFE. Each ingress
queue sends its queue head information to the egress line card by sending requests with packet group length information. It
does not segment the packets into cells at this point. The egress PFE schedules data delivery from the ingress PFE,
according to the egress line card’s needs, by issuing grants. Egress line cards only have shallow on-chip buffers to account
for the latency in data delivery from ingress line cards. Ingress line cards have the traditional deep data buffers in external
DRAM. The advantage of this method is that packet buffer bandwidth is saved on egress; and there is no head of line
blocking. Also, the packet encapsulations are done on egress, so the fabric deals with smaller packets.

systems can be thought of as three separate virtual networks that share the same physical links—requests + grants + data
flows. Hops between PFE chips can be flow-controlled.

Congestion Detection
A common congestion detection algorithm is employed. The VOQ on the ingress PFE is evaluated for congestion based on
multiple configurable parameters such as the drop profile, egress bandwidth, memory use meter, and so on.

Congestion Actions
The following three possible actions can be taken after congestion is noticed:
• Packets can be dropped based on weighted random early detection (WRED) scheduling, whereby the queues are filled
and not emptied (all best-effort traffic);
• Packets can be marked, followed by WRED scheduling and explicit congestion notification (ECN) messages, whereby the
operator is notified of all congestion; and
• Packets can be saved based on priority, whereby strict priority packets will always get through up to the full bandwidth of
the port.

Applications common to all PTX Series models include use as an MPLS core router, IP core router, transit and peering, and
infrastructure edge.
PTX Series routers provide a platform for the Converged Supercore architecture. The Converged Supercore architecture is
composed of the Converged Supercore LSR, Converged Supercore IP Backbone, and Transport Integration applications. The
Converged Supercore LSR enables service providers to leverage the heart of the core MPLS backbone with a scalable, cost-
optimized network. The Converged Supercore IP Backbone expands the architecture to address additional applications such
as Internet backbone, Internet peering, infrastructure edge, back-end data center connect, regional core, and packet
transport. A wide breadth of applications are available to service providers with Converged Supercore architectures, helping
them achieve industry-low TCO and scaling each application organically as demand dictates.

PTX5000 Applications
© 2017 Juniper Networks, Inc. All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL SSMT04E-ML5 www.juniper.net | 43
PTX5000 Applications
The PTX5000 Packet Transport Router is designed for large networks and network applications, such as those supported by
ISPs. The PTX5000 accommodates up to eight FPCs, each of which can be configured with a variety of network media types.
The PTX5000 transforms the core network with physical and virtual innovations for unprecedented scale and cost. Service
providers now have the freedom to create new virtualized services anywhere in the network and elastically create a
Converged Supercore architecture with precise traffic control without sacrificing the service experience. The PTX5000, for
the first time, lets service providers seamlessly scale IP/MPLS traffic without sacrificing performance and deployability, the
contributors to eroding TCO analysis for service providers. The PTX5000 focus is on the Converged Supercore architecture
for service providers, which is optimized for LSR, Internet backbone, peering, and optical convergence applications for large,
high-speed, massive-scale networks. As such, for the first time, service providers can match traffic demand with optimized
core router performance and deployability.
Slide 44
PTX3000 Applications

PTX3000 Applications
The PTX3000 Packet Transport Router provides the Converged Supercore foundation for space- and power-constrained
environments.
In many countries, as well as smaller central offices and lower bandwidth applications, the PTX3000 router is the perfect
Converged Supercore router. The PTX3000 brings unprecedented capacity in a 22 U package that supports 8 Tbps per
chassis or 16 Tbps per one standard 19-inch telecommunications rack, all at wire-rate performance. Powered by custom
Juniper ExpressPlus Silicon, the PTX3000, like the PTX5000, delivers predictable IP/MPLS packet performance and
functionality, eliminating the complex sawtooth packet profile found in elaborate over-engineered network processing units
(NPUs) deployed in other core routers.
The PTX3000 is the only Converged Supercore platform that complies with 300mm ETSI standards for both transport and
space-constrained central office environments, making it the most globally deployable core router on the market. The
PTX3000 enables service providers to build a Converged Supercore architecture that optimizes LSR, Internet backbone,
peering, and optical convergence applications for smaller regional deployments. As such, for the first time, service providers
can match traffic demand with optimized core router performance and flexible deployments. With its ultra-optimized form,
the PTX3000 is ideally positioned for space-constrained colocation facilities that experience frequent backlogs, central
office locations in emerging markets where space and power are at a premium, smaller service providers wanting
Converged Supercore advantages, and next-generation metro Converged Supercore infrastructures.
Slide 45
PTX1000 Applications

PTX1000 Applications
The PTX1000 Packet Transport Router enables distributed applications within the Converged Supercore.
For the first time, the PTX1000 lets service providers organically distribute peering points throughout the network with a rich
IP/MPLS feature set without sacrificing performance and deployability—the main contributors to eroding TCO for service
providers when peering. The PTX1000 expands the applications scope that the Converged Supercore architecture
addresses, enabling service providers to implement a distributed core architecture for interconnecting growing cloud
services. Service providers can distribute peering points to match traffic demand with an optimized core router without
sacrificing performance or deployability. The PTX1000 is the industry’s only fix configuration core router in a compact, 2 U
form factor, making it easily deployable in space-constrained Internet exchange locations, remote central offices, and
embedded peering points anywhere in the network, including cloud-hosted services.

Competitive Comparison

Competitive Comparison
As a point of comparison, let’s take a look at the PTX5000 and the Cisco NCS6000 in terms of footprint and power and
cooling requirements. Cisco has to use four full racks of NCS6000 routers in a multi-chassis configuration to compete with a
PTX Series system comprised of only one PTX5000, which occupies only two-thirds of a standard rack—this is a savings in
valuable floor space, along with power and cooling cost savings.
All PTX Series routers fit in a standard 19”, 42 U rack. The PTX5000 is only 38 U in height, the PTX3000 can fit in half a
rack, and the PTX1000 is only 2 U high.
With a typical power consumption of 10.5 kilowatts on a fully loaded PTX5000, the PTX Series uses less power while
providing more system capacity than the competition. The ultra-compact and power efficient PTX3000 meets critical
requirements for optical elements in collocations, central offices, and metro networks. A smaller size, and typical power
consumption around 1.3 kilowatts, makes the PTX1000 power- and space-efficient to meet the requirements for peering
Internet Exchange points, colocations, central offices, and regional networks, especially in emerging markets.

When compared to the competition—such as the Cisco NCS Series, Alcatel-Lucent ALU7950, and Huawei NE5000E—PTX
Series routers not only offer benefits in power, cooling, and size, but also in performance, port density, and 100-Gigabit
integration.
The PTX Series offers higher per slot and per system performance compared to the competition. For example, the PTX5000,
using FPC3 line cards, has 3 times the per slot capacity and 3 times the system capacity of the Cisco NCS6008.
The PTX Series not only offers higher port densities than the competition, it also offers a wider variety of line cards for
deployment flexibility. With up to 3 Tbps per slot, powered by custom Juniper Networks ExpressPlus silicon, the PTX Series
enables service providers to increase capacity without the need to greatly expand their network and facility footprint.
The PTX Series also supports the industry’s densest 100-Gigabit Ethernet coherent DWDM line card with 1 Tbps capacity,
blending best-of-class IP/MPLS performance with optical transport to flatten network layers. The competition does not have
an integrated solution but instead needs to use a separate transponder box for this capability. PTX Series optical integration
reduces CapEx for operators by eliminating the need for an external transponder and the client optics required to connect
the transport shelf to the router. More importantly, operators can simplify operations and lower OpEx by maintaining a
collapsed packet and optical layer with a single point of management.
