The Juniper Networks PTX1000 Packet Transport Router is a fixed-configuration router
that supports 10-Gbps, 40-Gbps, and 100-Gbps port speeds in a compact 2U form factor,
enabling service providers to organically distribute peering points throughout the network.
The system architecture cleanly separates control operations from packet forwarding
operations. This design eliminates processing and traffic bottlenecks, permitting the
PTX1000 to achieve high performance.
Control operations are performed by the Routing Engine, which runs the Juniper
Networks Junos operating system (Junos OS). The Routing Engine handles routing
protocols, traffic engineering, policy, policing, monitoring, and configuration
management. Junos OS is installed on the PTX1000 router's internal 2 x 64-gigabyte
(GB) M.2 SATA solid-state drives (SSDs). The 64-GB SSDs have 50 GB of usable
space—the remaining space is reserved. The Routing Engine is enhanced by a 2.5-GHz
quad core Intel CPU and 32 GB of SDRAM.
