Benets of the PTX10001-36MR
• Scalability—The PTX10001-36MR scales to 9.6 Tbps in a single chassis, supporng up to 120 10GbE
interfaces, 30 40GbE, 96 100GbE interfaces (at line-rate), or 108 100GbE interfaces (oversubscribed),
and 24 400GbE interfaces, giving cloud and service providers the performance and scalability needed
as networks grow.
• Performance—The PTX10001-36MR uses the next-generaon ASIC in the Junos Express silicon
family, Juniper Triton silicon, to deliver inline MACsec on all 100-Gigabit and 400-Gigabit speed
interfaces for dense 400-Gigabit architectures. The PTX10001-36MR’s exceponal packet
processing capabilies help alleviate the challenge of scaling the network as trac levels increase.
• High availability hardware—The PTX10001-36MR is engineered with hardware redundancy for
cooling, power supplies, and forwarding. With the PTX10001-36MR’s high availability, service
providers can maintain an always-on infrastructure base that helps meet stringent SLAs across the
core.
• Space eciency—The PTX10001-36MR’s ultra-compact 1-U form factor eciency is a crical
requirement for space and power constrained internet exchange locaons, remote central oces,
and embedded peering points throughout the network. The PTX10001-36MR delivers a power
eciency of 0.2 was/Gbps.
PTX10001-36MR System Architecture
The PTX10001-36MR is a xed-conguraon router that supports 10-Gbps, 25-Gbps, 40-Gbps, 100-
Gbps, and 400-Gbps port speeds in a single 1-U stackable plaorm.
• Control operaons are performed by the Roung Engine, which runs the Juniper Networks Junos OS
Evolved operang system (Junos OS Evolved). The Roung Engine handles roung protocols, trac
engineering, policy, policing, monitoring, and conguraon management. Junos OS Evolved is
installed on the PTX10001-36MR router’s two internal 200-gigabyte M.2 SATA solid-state drives
(SSDs). The Roung Engine is enhanced by a 2.1-GHz 12 core Intel CPU and 64 GB of RAM.
• Forwarding operaons are performed by the Packet Forwarding Engine, which uses Juniper
Networks Triton silicon. The custom ASICs enable the PTX10001-36MR to provide up to 9.6 Tbps of
bandwidth.
