The Juniper Networks PTX5000 Packet Transport Router is designed for large networks and network
applications, such as those supported by ISPs and high-volume content providers.

Benefits of the PTX5000 Router

• Increased scalability-The PTX5000 scales to 24 Tbps in a single chassis, supporting up to 1536 10-
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, 384 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and 240 100-Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces, giving service providers the performance and scalability needed as networks grow. The
purpose-built ASICs in the PTX5000 provide enhanced packet processing for both full IP
functionality and MPLS transport, accommodating scale as traffic continues to increase and
optimizing IP/MPLS transit functionality.
