MX960 Router Overview on page 3
The MX960 3D Universal Edge Router is an Ethernet-optimized edge router that provides
both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing. The MX960 router enables a wide
range of business and residential applications and services, including high-speed transport
and VPN services, next-generation broadband multiplay services, high-speed Internet
and data center internetworking.
The MX960 chassis provides redundancy and resiliency. The hardware system is fully
redundant, including power supplies, fan trays, Routing Engines, and Switch Control
Boards.
The MX960 router is 16 rack units (U) tall. Three routers can be stacked in a single
floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port density per unit of floor space. The router provides
14 slots that can be populated with 11 or 12 Dense Port Concentrators (DPCs) or Modular
Port Concentrators (MPCs), six Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs), and two Switch
Control Boards (SCBs) in nonredundant fabric configurations.
Fully populated, the MX960 router provides an aggregate switch fabric capacity of up
to 10.56 Tbps, with line-rate throughput on 264 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, 22 100-Gigabit
Ethernet and 44 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports and 66 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Table 3 on page 3 lists the MX960 router capacity.
