IP Features

The E Series router supports the following IP features:

IP Addressing

This section provides an overview of IP addressing in general and includes a discussion
of CIDR, which your router fully supports.

Physical and Logical Addresses

Physical node addresses are used at the network access layer to identify physical
devices in a network. For example, each Ethernet controller comes from the
manufacturer with a physical address, called a MAC address.
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
Traceroute
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
Classless interdomain routing (CIDR)
Maximum transmission unit (MTU)
Support for simultaneous multiple logical IP stacks on the same router
Flexible IP address assignment to support any portion of a physical interface (for
example, a channel or circuit), exactly one physical interface, or multilink PPP
interfaces
Packet segmentation and reassembly
Loose source routing to specify the IP route
Strict source routing to specify the IP route for each hop
Record route to track the route taken
Internet timestamp
Broadcast addressing, both limited broadcast and directed broadcast
Support for 32,000 discrete, simultaneous IP interfaces per router to support
thousands of logical connections
Capability of detecting and reporting changes in the up or down state of any IP
interface
IP policy support. See JUNOSe IP Services Configuration Guide, for more
information about policy configuration.
Indirect next hops
