Benefits of the PTX10001-36MR
• Scalability—The PTX10001-36MR scales to 9.6 Tbps in a single chassis, supporting up to 120 10GbE
interfaces, 30 40GbE, 96 100GbE interfaces (at line-rate), or 108 100GbE interfaces (oversubscribed),
and 24 400GbE interfaces, giving cloud and service providers the performance and scalability needed
as networks grow.
• Performance—The PTX10001-36MR uses the next-generation ASIC in the Junos Express silicon
family, Juniper Triton silicon, to deliver inline MACsec on all 100-Gigabit and 400-Gigabit speed
interfaces for dense 400-Gigabit architectures. The PTX10001-36MR's exceptional packet
processing capabilities help alleviate the challenge of scaling the network as traffic levels increase.
• High availability hardware—The PTX10001-36MR is engineered with hardware redundancy for
cooling, power supplies, and forwarding. With the PTX10001-36MR's high availability, service
providers can maintain an always-on infrastructure base that helps meet stringent SLAs across the
core.
• Space efficiency—The PTX10001-36MR's ultra-compact 1-U form factor efficiency is a critical
requirement for space and power constrained internet exchange locations, remote central offices,
and embedded peering points throughout the network. The PTX10001-36MR delivers a power
efficiency of 0.2 watts/Gbps.
PTX10001-36MR System Architecture
The PTX10001-36MR is a fixed-configuration router that supports 10-Gbps, 25-Gbps, 40-Gbps, 100-
Gbps, and 400-Gbps port speeds in a single 1-U stackable platform.
• Control operations are performed by the Routing Engine, which runs the Juniper Networks Junos OS
Evolved operating system (Junos OS Evolved). The Routing Engine handles routing protocols, traffic
engineering, policy, policing, monitoring, and configuration management. Junos OS Evolved is
installed on the PTX10001-36MR router's two internal 200-gigabyte M.2 SATA solid-state drives
(SSDs). The Routing Engine is enhanced by a 2.1-GHz 12 core Intel CPU and 64 GB of RAM.
• Forwarding operations are performed by the Packet Forwarding Engine, which uses Juniper
Networks Triton silicon. The custom ASICs enable the PTX10001-36MR to provide up to 9.6 Tbps of
bandwidth.
