Current Trends in the Enterprise

We live in a connected world
The foundation for these connections is the network

Global e-commerce sales are growing 15% to 20% annually
60% of the global population will be mobile subscribers by 2020
300 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute of every day
Facebook has over a billion daily active users, most of which are
connecting by means of a mobile device
Bandwidth usage, application diversity, and performance requirements have
increased dramatically
Current Trends in the Enterprise
We live in a connected world, and the foundation for these connections is the network. A digital transformation is
changing everything about the way we work and live. Multiple statistics can be cited to support this global business
and cultural phenomenon. A few recent statistics are shown on this slide. The numbers can be staggering. For
example, 300 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute of every day; and Facebook has over a billion
daily active users, most of which are connecting by means of a mobile device.
The bottom line that these numbers indicate is that the continued growth of the Internet and digital communications
are causing a dramatic increase in bandwidth usage, application diversity, and performance requirements on the
network.

Slide 9
Enterprise Challenges
Network operators are challenged to provide:
Uninterrupted service
Responsiveness
Customized digital experiences
Keep costs in line
Address bandwidth demands
Requires a dynamic, service-oriented network
edge
Cost-effective

Enterprise Challenges
This increase in traffic, users, and an increased diversity of devices and applications, is challenging the network like
never before. Network operators of all types are challenged to provide uninterrupted, responsive, and customized
digital experiences to their customers, all while keeping costs in line while addressing the relentless bandwidth
demands on their network. This requires a dynamic service-oriented network edge that cost-effectively meets capacity
demands and easily adapts to meet long-term forecasts.

The Juniper Approach
For the most part, we are talking about the power of software to enable the network in the same way that abstraction
and virtualization have revolutionized other areas of the network.
Software is vitally important. It allows us to create automation that can stand independent of the specific physical
devices, and it offers the promise of broad network orchestration.
At Juniper Networks we have long held the belief that you have to architect the system from the ground up to enable
software. Silicon and systems are critical to the structure. The decisions one makes about what belongs in the silicon
and what belongs in the systems, as distinct from the software, directly impact scale and performance. Since 1996
Juniper has worked to optimize this balancing act, often succeeding at delivering blazing, record-breaking
performance and software-based flexibility. This is the architectural approach required to deliver the greatest
opportunity for network innovation, reducing capital expenditures (CapEx) and improving operating expenditures
(OpEx).

Dedicated Switched
Links Links

ATM X.25, Frame Relay
Traditional Approaches To Enterprise Network Connectivity: Part 1
Historically, WANs have been built to be best-effort networks. The popular connectivity options have been either
switched links or dedicated links. In the case of dedicated links, the choices have been to either lease or own a private
line. With switched links, the method was to transport the traffic either over packet switched or cell switched
connections.
These best-effort strategies were effective when all that traversed the WAN were shared files or e-mail. The
conventional approach to address demands on the WAN, due to changing business needs and growth, has been to
add even more devices, technologies, or links to support bandwidth or capacity needs without much planning towards
other aspects of growthbe it from a network or business perspective.

ATM X.25, Frame Relay
Traditional Approaches To Enterprise Network Connectivity: Part 2
Lets look at dedicated links. Rapid organic business growth impacts application performance, resiliency, and
scalability. Adding dedicated links, to serve certain identified critical applications for example, can alleviate
performance problems, but then results in inefficient link usage. Some links might get overused, while others might not
be utilized to full capacity. Relying on dedicated links severely impacts the ability to scale the network and to adapt to
changing business needs, not to mention the huge costs involved.
Using switched links can solve some of the problems associated with dedicated links by setting up multiple virtual
Frame Relay or ATM circuits across a network. However, this requires dedicated equipment that supports only a
certain type of technology. Some WANs that might consist of a mix of Frame Relay or ATM for example, will not only
consist of low density devices that support a single technology, but will also require operators or administrators that
are proficient in multiple technologies to manage the network. The result is complexity, and the ramifications of
complexity can range from high operating costs to network disruptions and an inability to scale. This approach also
results in segmented, disjointed networks.
It should not come as a surprise that the WAN ranks amongst the top five investment initiatives for enterprises.

Data Center Interconnect
DCI is the interconnection of two or more data centers. Junipers methodology is to use MPLS and VPLS. Most of the
illustrations you will see, such as the diagram shown on this slide, will show two data centers tied together. But you
need to visualize this on a much broader scalethink about multiple data centers tied together globally using Layer 2
and Layer 3 services.
Data centers have become more than just a place where data is storedthey are also places where applications
reside. This brings the following factors into consideration:
Disaster recovery and business continuity are prime considerations;
We are seeing a move to data center consolidation and virtualization;
This might involve geographic clustering (referred to as geo-clustering), which is a methodology of grouping
together data centers within a geographic region; and
There is also a need for Layer 2 traffic between data centersfor example, for applications such as VMotion, which
moves live, running virtual machines (VMs) from one host to another while maintaining continuous service
availability.

Internet Edge
Internet access has become increasingly important to the way our customers do business. Internet access is more
than just providing corporate Internet access to the branch offices or to headquarters. Customers are using Web 2.0
applications such as software (or storage) as a service (SaaS), Office 365, Salesforce.com, and so on, which means
that the Internet edge is more important than ever. Our customers are also employing more tele-workers who need
access to the corporate network. The use of multi-homing and multiple ISPs bringing the Internet in from different
segments of the network adds some complexity to the design but has to be addressed as a business critical need.

Private WAN
A discussion of private WAN used to revolve around Frame Relay or ATM. But in this day and age the needs are
much more complexthe services that are running across the WAN arent simply client/server applications. Today,
connectivity could involve the need to have multiple locations sharing data in a collaborative effort, perhaps involving
something such as medical records, the access to which needs to meet compliance mandates. Private WAN
connectivity can be critical to a businesss success. MPLS can be a tool that helps deliver the needed architecture.

WAN Aggregation
A good example for the WAN aggregation use case is a retail business that has a number of locations, perhaps
thousands of stores, all over the country. A business such as this would like to take advantage of lower cost local
providers, or in some areas they might be able to get carrier Ethernet. They would bring all those locations to a central
hub using a hub and spoke design (as shown on this slide). They can cross-connect all of the different types of carrier
connections into the hub, and this allows them to have a centralized location for policies. Here they can create a
similar type of policy for every one of their branches and have the policies managed out of the hub location. Retail is
just one example for the WAN aggregation use case.

Most often, you will find customers have multiple use cases within their networks. They might have requirements for
data center consolidation, private cloud, and so forth, depending on the type of business. The way to weave all of
these types of solutions together is through MPLS or VPLS, and the MX Series is the ideal platform upon which to
build these solutions.

For example, if a customer has devices that are nearing end-of-support (EoS) or end-of-life (EoL), this might prompt a
discussion regarding all four use cases. If business continuity is a primary concern, then the discussion might revolve
around DCI, private WAN, and WAN aggregation.

MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers
The MX Series portfolio offers a broad range of physical and virtual platforms that deliver routing capacity from 1 Gbps
through 80 Tbps. The MX Series portfolio includes: the virtual MX (vMX) virtual router; the MX5, MX10, MX40, and
MX80 mid-range routers; the MX104 aggregation optimized router; the MX240, MX480, and MX960 modular edge
routers; and the MX2010 and MX2020 ultra-high capacity edge and converged edge/core platforms,.
Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) leverage the Junos Trio chipset to deliver high-density 1-, 10-, 40-, and 100-
Gigabit Ethernet, as well as ATM/SONET and inline services across the entire MX Series portfolio. These advanced
capabilities allow customers to flexibly mix-and-match interfaces to create service-specific and pay-as-you-grow
configurations. The MPC houses the Packet Forwarding Engines (PFEs) to deliver comprehensive Layer 3 routing
(IPv4 and IPv6), MPLS, Layer 2 switching, and advanced hierarchical quality of service (HQoS).
Dense Port Concentrators (DPCs) provide multiple physical interfaces and PFEs on a single board that installs in a
slot in the MX Series routers. A DPC receives incoming packets from the network and sends outgoing packets to the
network. The PFEs on a DPC are equipped with purpose-built ASICs that perform packet processing and forwarding.
Each PFE consists of one I-Chip for Layer 3 processing, and one Layer 2 network processor.

Virtual MX
Virtual MX (vMX) is a feature-rich, virtualized MX Series platform that runs on x86-based servers to support a broad
set of cloud, cable, mobile, and enterprise applications. In support of emerging Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
initiatives, the vMX delivers a virtualized router solution built on over 15 years of Juniper routing investment and
experience. The vMX control plane is powered by the Junos OS, the same operating system that powers the entire
MX Series portfolio, while the forwarding plane is powered by vTrio, which is programmable Junos Trio chipset
microcode that is optimized for execution in x86 environments. With the Junos OS and vTrio, the vMX offers advanced
IP/MPLS routing and switching support that ensures the flexible and highly efficient delivery of the widest variety of
applications and services.
vMX eliminates the cost, complexity, and delay associated with qualifying, maintaining, and sparing physical routing
elements, enabling rapid service deployment and scale-out of servicescritical success factors when expanding into
niche markets and new geographies that are too risky to attempt with traditional network elements. These same
attributes help overcome persistent issues related to equipment acquisition for lab trials and release certification.
vMX increases service agility by enabling users to quickly implement and scale services by spinning up new routing
instances on demand, and supporting non-disruptive service introductions in parallel with current services. This
approach eliminates the risk, complexity, and delay associated with reconfiguring and requalifying the current
infrastructure for new services. Furthermore, vMX has a granular licensing model that accommodates uncertain
forecasts, enabling users to purchase only the amount of capacity they need, reducing the risk of stranded capital.

Option to upgrade from MX5 > MX10 > MX40 > MX80
Compact platform
Pay-as-you-grow licensing Multiservices MIC supported in rear slot
Interface diversity Support for WAN (TDM) interfaces in modular slots
Midrange Routing Solutions
Back in 2008, Juniper started shipping the MX80 chassis which provides up to 80 Gbps bi-directional support and
offers two modular slots plus four built-in 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. This solution has been very successful in the
enterprise edge market and Juniper acknowledged the desire for lower bandwidth needs for the enterprise as well as
managed services. Therefore, Juniper developed the MX5, MX10, and MX40 chassis based on the same MX80
hardware architecture.
The slide describes the slots and ports made available on each model. There is an upgrade path from the MX5 all the
way to the MX80 by means of licenses. Since the MX5 through MX40 chassis are based on the same MX80
hardware, a hardware upgrade is not required, just a software license. In addition, these mid-range chassis have been
designed from the beginning to support high-performing services, and a service Modular Interface Card (MIC) slot is
available in the back of the chassis which supports the Multiservices MIC.
The MX80 comes in the following two form factors:

The MX80 supports two MIC slots in the front of the chassis along with four fixed 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports; and
The MX80-48T supports 48 fixed Gigabit Ethernet interfaces instead of the front MIC slots and also has four fixed 10-
Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Another point to emphasize is that these mid-range routers also support WAN (TDM) interfaces in modular slots.
The MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 are compact platforms for enterprise applications, space and power constrained
service provider facilities, and as a customer premises equipment (CPE) for managed services.

The switch control board (SCB) powers on and powers off cards, controls clocking, resets, and boots, along with
monitoring and controlling system functions including fan speed, board power status, inline power distribution module
(PDM) status and control, and the system front panel. The switch fabric is integrated into the SCB, providing a non-
blocking architecture that connects to all within the chassis, and the Routing Engine installs directly into the SCB.
Three SCBs are available for the MX960, MX480, and MX240 routersthe SCB, the SCBE, and the SCBE2.
The Routing Engine handles all routing protocol processes, the software processes that control the routers interfaces,
the chassis components, system management, and user access to the router. These routing and software processes
run on top of a kernel that interacts with the PFE. The Routing Engine also provides control plane functions and runs
the Junos OS. Software processes that run on the Routing Engine maintain the routing tables, manage the routing
protocols used on the router, control the router interfaces, control some chassis components, and provide the
interface for system management and user access to the router. Routing Engines communicate with DPCs, MPCs,
and FPCs by means of dedicated out-of-band management channels, providing a clear distinction between the control
and forwarding planes.
MPCs leverage the Junos Trio chipset to deliver high density 1-, 10-, 40-, and 100-Gigabit Ethernet, as well as
ATM/SONET and inline services across the entire MX Series portfolio. These advanced capabilities allow you to
flexibly mix and match interfaces to create service-specific and pay-as-you-grow configurations. The MPC houses
the PFEs to deliver comprehensive Layer 3 routing (IPv4 and IPv6), MPLS, Layer 2 switching, and advanced
hierarchical quality of service (HQoS).
DPCs provide multiple physical interfaces and PFEs on a single board that installs in a slot in the MX Series routers. A
DPC receives incoming packets from the network and sends outgoing packets to the network. The PFEs on a DPC
are equipped with purpose-built ASICs that perform packet processing and forwarding. Each PFE consists of one I-
Chip for Layer 3 processing and one Layer 2 network processor.
A Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) can also be installed in MX Series routers. An FPC occupies two slots. Each FPC
supports up to two PICs. On an FPC2, one PFE receives incoming packets from the PICs installed on the FPC and
forwards them through the switch planes to the appropriate destination port. On an FPC3, two PFEs receive incoming
packets from the PICs installed on the FPC and forwards them through the switch planes to the appropriate
destination port.

MX240 Overview
The MX240 is an Ethernet-optimized edge router that provides both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing, with
a capacity of up to 1.92 Tbps, half-duplex. The MX240 router enables a wide range of business and residential
applications and services, including high-speed transport and VPN services, next-generation broadband multiplay
services, and high-volume Internet data center internetworking.
The MX240 router is 5 rack units (5U) tall. Several routers can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling rack for increased
port density per unit of floor space.
Fully populated, the MX240 provides a maximum aggregate switch fabric capacity of up to 1.92 Tbps and line-rate
throughput for up to 48 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, or four 100-Gigabit Ethernet and eight 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, or
twelve 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports. Redundant AC and DC power supplies are available.
The router provides two dedicated line card slots for DPCs, MPCs, or FPCs. DPCs and MPCs each install into a
single line card slot. The FPC installs into both slots. The router also provides one dedicated slot for an SCB, and one

MX2000 Line
The MX2000 line of routers is a game-changing, SDN-ready solution that offers investment protecting capacity,
density, and scale; increased operational excellence; and service agility to help network operators transform the
economics of networking. Consisting of the MX2010 and the MX2020, the MX2000 line offers the performance and
reliability at scale that enables cable operators, service providers, content providers, and cloud operators to
confidently and efficiently build the best network across residential, mobile, and cloud hosting markets.
The MX2000 line utilizes the powerful Junos OS and the programmable Junos Trio chipset to maintain complete
feature consistency with the entire Juniper Universal Edge routing portfolio. The MX2000 line also supports all MX
Series MPCs, ensuring maximum investment protection and the ability to rapidly qualify and deploy the MX2010 and
MX2020 in current MX Series environments. Additionally, since the entire MX Series portfolio shares the same Junos
OS and programmable Junos Trio chipset, feature consistency and a common operational framework are maintained,
even in mixed MX Series environments, reducing the costs, risks, and complexities of network evolution.
All line cards, service cards, switch fabric boards (SCBs), and Routing Engine cards are installed from the front of both
systems, while power and cooling components are located in the back. Air intake is in the front of the system and is
exhausted in the back. Cooling is provided by fully redundant fan trays.
The MX2000 line shares common switch fabrics, Routing Engines, power supplies, fan trays, line cards, and other
components that are field-upgradable in a hitless manner. These routers also support all of the same MPCs and MICs
used by the MX240, MX480, and MX960 routers, which simplifies sparing and protects your current MX Series
investments.

Key Components of the MX2000 Line
SFBs create a highly scalable and resilient all-active centralized switch fabric architecture that currently delivers up
to 860 Gbps of full-duplex switching capacity to each line card slot with built-in scale to 2 Tbps per slot in the future.
Dual redundant Control Board with Routing Engines (CB-REs) support routing protocol processing, router interface
control, and control plane functions such as chassis component and system management and user access to the
router. These processes run on top of a kernel that interacts with the PFE on line cards by means of dedicated high-
bandwidth management channels, providing clean separation of control and forwarding planes. CB-REs also run the
64-bit Junos OS.
MPCs provide packet forwarding services. The MPCs are inserted into a slot in MX2010 or MX2020 router. MICs
provide the physical interfaces and install into the MPCs. You can install up to two MICs of different media types in the
same MPC as long as the MPC supports those MICs. A specialized fixed configuration MPC provides higher port
density over MICs and combines packet forwarding and Ethernet interfaces onto a single line card. The fixed
configuration MPC is inserted into a slot in a router and contains no slots for MICs.
Multiservice MPCs (MS-MPCs) use the programmable Junos Trio chipset to process compute-intensive services such
as Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT), IPsec, stateful firewall, and application- and subscriber-aware routing. This allows
the seamless and operationally efficient integration of these advanced service capabilities directly on the MX2010 and
MX2020.
To provide optimal air flow and maximize interface densities, the MX2010 and MX2020 line card slots are wider than
the slots on MX240, MX480, and MX960 routers. For installation in an MX2010 or MX2020 router, MPC1 through
MPC5 cards, as well as the MPC7E cards require an adapter card (ADC). ADC cards require no configuration and are
visible in the inventory of the system from the CLI. The MPC6E, MPC8E, and MPC9E cards do not require an adapter
card to house the MPC in the MX2000 routers.

MX Series MPCs: Part 1
There have been a number of line cards available since the inception of the MX Series. At present, we have the
following MPC types:
MPC1E and MPC2E: These are modular MPCs, which means they have two MIC slots. The MPC1E consists of a
single Trio-based PFE capable of handling about 40 Gbps of traffic. The MPC2E consists of two PFEs capable of
servicing about 80 Gbps of traffic. Both MPCs support a variety of Ethernet and non-Ethernet MICs. The E
versions are Enhanced MPCs that support advanced timing options. The Q and EQ versions of the MPC1E and
MPC2E offer high density hierarchical QoS (HQoS) functionality. The forwarding capacity is approximately
equivalent to the MPC1E/2E non-Q versions and they also support all of the Ethernet and non-Ethernet MICs
supported on non-Q MPC1 and MPC2 cards.
16x10G: This is a monolithic 10-Gigabit Ethernet MPC consisting of four Trio-based PFEs capable of servicing up
to 160 Gbps. Monolithic MPCs have a fixed form factor and do not have any MICs slots available.
MPC3E: This was the first modular MPC offering 100-Gigabit Ethernet, 40-Gigabit Ethernet, 10-Gigabit Ethernet,
and 1-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces by means of various MIC combinations. This MPC consists of a single PFE
capable of forwarding 130 Gbps. The 130 Gbps PFE is based on a newer generation of the Trio architecture.
MPC4E: These are monolithic MPCs. The MPC4E is based on the same PFE as MPC3E and it comes in two
versionsa 32-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet oversubscribed version and a 2-port 100-Giabit Ethernet plus 8-port 10-
Gigabit Ethernet oversubscribed version.
MPC5E: These are 240 Gbps monolithic MPCs. The MPC5E comes in two versionsa 2-port 100-Gigabit Ethernet
plus 4-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet version, and a 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet plus 6-port 40-Gigabit Ethernet version.
MPC2E NG: This MPC supports the same bandwidth as the MPC2E, however, the Trio chipset and CPU are
upgraded to provide improved route scale, performance, and convergence. This card supports 10 million routes in
the forwarding information base (or FIB, also known as the forwarding table) and up to 512,000 queues.
MPC3E NG: This MPC supports the same bandwidth as the MPC3E, however, as is the case with the MPC2E NG,
the Trio chipset and CPU are upgraded to provide improved route scale, performance, and convergence. Thus, this
card also supports 10 million routes in the FIB and up to 512,000 queues.
MPC6E: This is a 480 Gbps MPC with two MIC slots for the MX2000 platforms. The MICs supported on this MPC
include the 2-port 100-Gigabit Ethernet CFP2 MIC with OTN (OTU4), the 4-port 100-Gigabit Ethernet CXP MIC, the
24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ MIC, and the 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ MIC with OTN (OTU2).

10G supports 400 Gbps bandwidth and provides 40 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ interfaces. MACsec encryption will
be available in a future release. The MPC7E-MRATE is a multirate 480 Gbps MPC which supports 10-Gigabit
Ethernet, 40-Gigabit Ethernet, and 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the same MPC. The 40-Gigabit Ethernet
optics use QSFP+, while the 100-Gigabit Ethernet optics use QSFP28. This multirate MPC supports 12 QSFP+
optics, four out of the 12 also support QSFP28 optics. Breakout cables are required for 10-Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces.
MPC8E: This is a 960 Gbps MPC with two MIC slots for use in the MX2000 platforms. This MPC accepts the 12-
port QSFP+ MIC-MRATE. All ports support 4-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet (using breakout cables) and 40-Gigabit
Ethernet QSFP+ optics. Four of the ports support 100-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 optics.
MPC9E: Very similar to the MPC8E, this is a 1.6 Tbps MPC with two MIC slots for use in the MX2000 platforms.
This MPC accepts the 12-port QSFP+ MIC-MRATE. All ports support 4-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet (using breakout
cables) and 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ optics. Eight of the ports support 100-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 optics.
Be aware that the I/O capacity of any MPC type depends on the switch fabric capacity allocated per slot. Check the
latest documentation for current combination specifications.

MX Series Virtual Chassis Fundamentals
The Virtual Chassis feature available on particular MX Series routers allows the combining of two chassis so that they
appear as one device. Even though the number of ports and the capacity for services in a two chassis Virtual Chassis
deployment are at the two chassis level, the management and control plane is at a one chassis levelsimplifying the
operations dramatically and reducing OpEx. Software upgrades and configuration changes in a Virtual Chassis
deployment only need to be done once, even though there are two chassis.
An MX Series Virtual Chassis can be monitored and managed as a single logical device. This simplifies manageability
through a unified control plane, and creates a dynamic elasticity which enables customers to easily increase or
decrease the number of interfaces or services on-the-fly. Scalability is significantly improved, as additional ports and
services can be provisioned without the introduction of an additional control plane. Also, Virtual Chassis technology
improves resiliency, as it protects user sessions across physical chassis and line card or port failures, using stateful
redundancy.
Virtual Chassis technology can add value to many use casesfor example, in data centers or for business or
residential edge customers.

MX Series Virtual Chassis: Key Takeaways
No hardware upgrades are necessary, just the proper version of the Junos OS. The two MX Series platforms in a
Virtual Chassis are interconnected using normal front-facing Ethernet ports on MPCs to form a virtual backplane for
the Virtual Chassis. After a Virtual Chassis port is configured, it is dedicated to the task of interconnecting member
routers, and is no longer available for configuration as a standard network port.
The Virtual Chassis appears as single entity to peers and acts as a single management entity. The MX Series chassis
control plane provides stateful geographic redundancy using graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) and nonstop
active routing (NSR) to ensure that availability is maintained in the event of Routing Engine, chassis, or even site
failure. This allows a Virtual Chassis member in another site to provide stateful protection and continuous availability
for catastrophic outages.
An MX Series Virtual Chassis is managed by the Virtual Chassis Control Protocol (VCCP), which is a dedicated
control protocol based on IS-IS. VCCP runs on the Virtual Chassis port interfaces and is responsible for building the
Virtual Chassis topology, electing the Virtual Chassis master router, and establishing the inter-chassis routing table to
route traffic within the Virtual Chassis.

Supported MX Virtual Chassis Member Router Combinations
MX Series Virtual Chassis technology is supported on the MX240, MX480, and MX960 routers as of Junos OS version
14.2. Support for MX2010 and MX2020 is available with Junos OS version 15.1. The MX2020 has more slots than the
MX960, and this difference and others had to be addressed within the Junos OS in order to support Virtual Chassis.
A two-member MX Series Virtual Chassis supports the member router combinations marked as Yes in the table
shown on this slide. Each member router in the Virtual Chassis must have dual Routing Engines installed, and all four
Routing Engines in the Virtual Chassis must be the same model. For example, you cannot configure a Virtual Chassis
if one member router has two RE-S-2000 Routing Engines installed and the other member router has two RE-S-1800
Routing Engines installed. For an MX Series Virtual Chassis configuration that includes an MX2020 router, all four
Routing Engines in the Virtual Chassis must have at least 16 gigabytes of memory.
Note that the MX80 (and the other mid-range MX Series routers based on the MX80) is a single Routing Engine
system, and therefore it cannot be supported in Virtual Chassis. Furthermore, Virtual Chassis is currently not
supported for the MX104 routers.

Slide 52
Graceful RE Switchover
Requirements:
Protect forwarding plane so traffic forwarding continues
Automate the switch of RE mastership to the backup RE
Share state between the two REs and the PFE
Solution:
Primary RE and secondary RE utilize a keepalive process
RE failure does not reset the PFE
Backup RE
Traffic forwarding continues
RE failure is detected by neighbors which respond,
triggering a network-wide reaction
Topology changes with the new RE
Master RE
Graceful RE Switchover
The graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) feature in the Junos OS enables 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. To preserve routing during a switchover, GRES must be combined with
either of the following:
Graceful restart protocol extensions; or
Nonstop active routing (NSR).
Any updates to the master Routing Engine are replicated to the backup Routing Engine as soon as they occur.
Mastership switches to the backup Routing Engine if any of the following occur:
The master Routing Engine kernel stops operating;
The master Routing Engine experiences a hardware failure; or
The administrator initiates a manual switchover.
If the backup Routing Engine does not receive a keepalive from the master Routing Engine after 2 seconds, it
determines that the master Routing Engine has failed and takes mastership. The PFE takes the following action:
Seamlessly disconnects from the old master Routing Engine;
Reconnects to the new master Routing Engine;
Does not reboot; and
Does not interrupt traffic.
The new master Routing Engine and the PFE then become synchronized. If the new master Routing Engine detects
that the PFE state is not up-to-date, it resends state update messages to the PFE.

Slide 53
4c
Nonstop Active Routing
Additional Requirements:
Self-contained solution
No requirement for peers to support
Switchover is transparent to neighbors
No disruption of protocol peering
Solution:
Dual active protocol sessions
Backup RE is fully active and can immediately take over sessions
Require GRES to maintain forwarding plane during change
Replaces graceful restart protocol extensions
Nonstop Active Routing
NSR uses the same infrastructure as GRES to preserve interface and kernel information. However, NSR also saves
routing protocol information by running the routing protocol process (rpd) on the backup Routing Engine. By saving
this additional information, NSR is self-contained and does not rely on helper routers (or switches) to assist the routing
platform in restoring routing protocol information. NSR is advantageous in networks where neighbor routers (or
switches) do not support graceful restart protocol extensions. As a result of this enhanced functionality, NSR is a
natural replacement for graceful restart.
To use nonstop active routing, you must first enable GRES on your routing (or switching) platform.

Unified In-Service Software Upgrade
Upgrade between two different Junos OS releases

No disruption on the control plane
Minimal disruption of traffic
Only supported on dual Routing Engine platforms
GRES and NSR must be enabled

Reduces operating costs while delivering higher service levels
Allows fast implementation of new features
Unified In-Service Software Upgrade
Unified in-service software upgrade (ISSU) enables you to upgrade between two different Junos OS releases with no
disruption on the control plane and with minimal disruption of traffic. Unified ISSU is supported only on dual Routing
Engine platforms. In addition, GRES and NSR must be enabled.
Unified ISSU takes advantage of the redundancy provided by dual Routing Engines and provides the following
benefits:
Eliminates network downtime during software image upgrades;
Reduces operating costs while delivering higher service levels; and
Allows fast implementation of new features.
To perform a unified ISSU, your device must be running a Junos OS release that supports unified ISSU for the
specific platform. You can use unified ISSU to upgrade from an ISSU-capable software release to a newer software
release.

Junos Telemetry Interface
Junipers Junos Telemetry Interface marks the first time a vendor has embedded telemetry, in a granular way, onto an
edge router. We will illustrate what happens when using this feature with the graphic on this slide. Information is
collected as it occurs on sub-components of an individual MPCsuch as traffic statistics, packet sizes, and so on.
That information is pushed towards the networks operations support systems (OSS). The OSS could be systems such
as network performance monitors, optimization systems, analytic engines, or management systems. This push model
scales very well. The OSS can then act on the information it is receiving. On the graphic on the slide, we show the
NETCONF, CLI, sensor configurator arrow pointing back towards the MPC. This is illustrating that the OSS has done
some analysis by taking real-time information from the network, and now it is reprogramming the network on-the-fly.
This is true automation.
The next graphic on the slide shows how this traffic or utilization might be visually represented to a customer. This
particular illustration is not a Juniper application, but a customers application. Juniper also partners with companies
like IBM and SevOne to provide a full analytics experience, from network to operator.
Junos Telemetry Interface will be supported first on the MPC7, MPC8, and MPC9. It is a Junos feature, so you will see
it on other platforms in the future. This feature will help our customers by providing a very network-aware view, giving
them the opportunity to make dynamic changes based on actual network conditions.

advantage of through systems integration work and Professional Services.
The Juniper Extension Toolkit supports the ability to run third-party applications directly on the Junos OS. This allows
for the creation of custom interactions and services that could not otherwise be accomplished within a closed
operating system. These third-party applications can then program the Junos OS control plane, providing a unique
customized experience. JET enables developers to create customized controls for the Junos OS to address the very

Advanced Services
Junos OS-based virtualized Network Edge Services enable cost-effective router integrated service scale without
impacting forwarding performance or requiring operators to use third-party appliances. The MX Series can efficiently
support services that include the following:
Junos Video Focus, which provides standards-based video monitoring and automatic issue mitigation to ensure
high-quality customer experiences;
Junos Address Aware, which helps you conserve your IPv4 address pool, ensure IPv4/IPv6 coexistence, and
transition to IPv6;
Junos Network Secure, which provides stateful firewall services for network protection and managed security
offers;
Junos VPN Site Secure, which uses standard encryption modes to secure communication between the customer
premises and the network edge, and for added security over Layer 3 VPNs; and
Junos Traffic Vision, which provides the granular traffic visibility needed to improve network efficiency, increase
security, and support operations and planning tasks.
Network Edge Services are optionally licensed individually, and the MX Series can host multiple services concurrently.
Network Edge Services can also be deployed on a Juniper Networks Service Control Gatewaywhich is an MX
Series router running Junos Subscriber Aware and/or Junos Application Aware.
Leveraging Junos Application Aware, which uses deep-packet inspection techniques to identify and classify traffic on
a per application basis, and Junos Subscriber Aware, which associates traffic flows with the subscriber that generated
them, the Service Control Gateway supports differentiated service creation and delivery, and when used with Contrail
Cloud Platform, can create and dynamically direct traffic into complex service chains.
