PTX10001 and PTX10003 Fixed Configuration Routers Datasheet

• 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 PTX10001-36MR, 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 PTX10001-36MR, 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.

The PTX10001-36MR, 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 PTX10001-36MR, and PTX10003 employ a massively scalable yet compact 1, 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 8 Tbps, 9.6 Tbps and 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, 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+.

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.

The PTX10003 is powered by Express3 Silicon to support high-density 100/200/400GbE interfaces and inline 100 GbE 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.

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 Paragon Pathfinder with a robust full-featured Internet backbone router, and a regional IP/MPLS core router with integrated 400GbE coherent transport for superior performance, operators can tune their network infrastructure through proactive monitoring and what-if planning capabilities. The Paragon Pathfinder 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 Paragon Pathfinder 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.

It offers up to 4 million FIB, deep buffers, and integrated 100GbE MACsec capabilities.

The PTX10003 uniquely addresses power-constrained environments by providing power efficiency of 0.2 watts/Gbps. Two versions of the PTX10003 are available, supporting 8 Tbps and 16 Tbps respectively in a 3 U footprint.

Operating in a fixed core router configuration, the 8 Tbps model features flexible interface configuration options with universal multi-rate QSFP-DD for 100GbE/400GbE to support 160 (QSFP+) 10GbE ports, 80 (QSFP28) 100GbE ports, 32 (QSFP28-DD) 200GbE ports, and 16 (QSFP56-DD) 400GbE ports.

The 16 Tbps model also offers universal multi-rate QSFP-DD for 100GbE/400GbE to support 320 (QSFP+) 10GbE ports, 160 (QSFP28) 100GbE ports, 64 (QSFP28-DD) 200GbE ports, and 32 (QSFP56-DD) 400GbE ports.

PTX10001-36MR and PTX10003 routers offer native SFP+ transceiver support through QSFP adapter, MAM1Q00A-QSA . This option enables deployments where 10GE connectivity over more than 10KM single mode fiber links is required.

Performance is one of the guiding design principles for the PTX Series Packet Transport Routers. This focus empowers cloud and service providers with superior scale to match increased traffic levels and network engineering challenges with predictable system latency to improve the overall service experience, deliver best-in-class resiliency, and ensure that services meet strict customer SLAs. Deployability is the other guiding design principle for the PTX Series routers, focusing on power, space, and weight—fundamental concerns that impact service providers’ operational budget with respect to growing traffic.

Infinite programmability with automation and telemetry brings virtual innovations to the cloud and service provider core, while the Paragon Pathfinder is an open, standards-based solution that optimizes both the IP layer and the transport layer with precise SDN control, allowing service providers to automate and scale operations with efficiency, simplicity, and security.
