Juniper Networks introduced its PTX10002-36QDD router, a compact, high-density platform for use as core, peering, data center interconnect and data center edge, metro aggregation, and AI data center networking, for service and cloud providers, as well as enterprise networks.
The PTX10002-36QDD is a 2 U fixed-configuration 800GbE router with 28.8Tbps capacity for supporting 36x800GbE or 72x400GbE interfaces with inline MACsec. The platform is powered by Juniper’s custom Express 5 ASIC, which boasts 8M counters, 10M-plus FIB, 100,000-plus SR tunnels, 256 AES MACsec encryption supported on all ports, and wire-rate packet performance.
The PTX10002-36QDD offers a high radix routing platform with deep buffers and a cell-based switch fabric for spine or leaf in AI data center networking environments. AI data center networking capabilities include efficient, deep-buffered interfaces, scalable cell-based fabric design, VOQ scheduling, RoCEv2, Adaptive Load Balancing, 8M Counters, built-in IPFIX and INT-MD.
As a data center interconnect router, the PTX10002-36QDD features advanced EVPN, VXLAN, and data center connectivity including: EVPN/VXLAN, ECN/PFC, and in-band telemetry
The PTX10002-36QDD is also well suited for L2/L3 metro aggregation roles including: CFM/LFM – Y.1731; MC-LAG; hierarchical QoS; BIER; SRv6.
