Benefits Of The Mx10016 Router - Juniper MX10016 Hardware Manual

high-performance networks. The 21 rack unit (21 U) modular chassis can provide 38.4 Tbps of throughput.
The MX10016 router has 16 slots for the line cards that can support a maximum of 1536 10-Gigabit
Ethernet ports, 384 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports, or 384 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
The MX10016 universal router provides 2.4 Tbps per slot fabric capacity for the service providers and
cloud operators. You can deploy the MX10016 router in an IP edge network using an MX10K-LC2101
line card (ordering model number is JNP10K-LC2101).
You can deploy MX10016 in the edge of the network for the following functions:
Layer 3 peering
Data center gateway
VPLS aggregation
Layer 3 aggregation
Video distribution
The MX10016 router is available in both base and redundant configurations for both AC and DC operation.
MX10016 features front-to-back airflow (also known as airflow out or AFO).

Benefits of the MX10016 Router

System capacity— MX10016 scales to 38.4 Tbps (76.8 Tbps half- duplex) in a single chassis, with support
for up to 1536 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 384 40-Gigabit Ethernet, and 384 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Full-scale IP and MPLS routing—The MX10016 delivers a distributed peering scale of 8.6 million entries
in the forwarding information bases (FIBs, also known as forwarding tables) and 80 million entries in the
routing information bases (RIBs also known as routing tables).
Source Packet Routing in Networking (SPRING)—SPRING on the MX10016 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—The MX10016 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 MX10016 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.
