and 20 Bpps of forwarding capacity. The MX10008 router has eight slots for the line cards that can support
a maximum of 768 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, 192 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports, or 192 100-Gigabit Ethernet
ports.
The MX10008 universal router provides 2.4 Tbps per slot fabric capacity for the service providers and
cloud operators. You can deploy the MX10008 router in an IP edge network using an MX10K-LC2101
line card (ordering model number is JNP10K-LC2101).
You can deploy MX10008 in the edge of the network for the following functions:
Layer 3 Peering
Data Center Gateway
VPLS aggregation
Layer 3 Aggregation
Video Distribution
The MX10008 router is available in both base and redundant configurations for both AC and DC operation.
MX10008 features front to back airflow (also know as airflow out or AFO).

Benefits of the MX10008 Router

System capacity— MX10008 scales to 19.2 Tbps (38.4 Tbps half- duplex) in a single chassis, with support
for up to 768 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 192 40-Gigabit Ethernet, and 192 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Full-scale IP and MPLS routing—MX10008 delivers the distributed peering scale of 7 million entries in
the forwarding information bases (FIBs, also known as forwarding table) and 80 million routing information
base entries (RIBs, also known as routing tables).
Source Packet Routing in Networking (SPRING)—SPRING on MX10008 provides additional flexibility
per packet source. SPRING provides features such as network path and node protection to support
MPLS fast reroute (FRR) mechanisms, enhanced network programmability, OAM functionality, simplified
network signaling, load balancing, and traffic engineering functions.
Always-on infrastructure base—MX10008 is engineered with full hardware redundancy for cooling,
switch fabric, and host subsystems—Routing and Control Boards (RCBs)—allowing service providers to
meet stringent service-level agreements across the core.
Nondisruptive software upgrades—The Junos operating system on MX10008 supports high availability
(HA) features such as graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES), nonstop active routing (NSR), and
unified in-service software upgrade (unified ISSU), providing software upgrades and changes without
disrupting network traffic.
