The TX Matrix Routing Engine handles all routing protocols, as well as the software processes that control the TX Matrix interfaces and user access to the TX Matrix router. All Routing Engines in the routing matrix run software processes that control chassis components and system management.
The TX Matrix Routing Engine constructs and maintains one or more routing tables. From the routing tables, the Routing Engine derives a table of active routes, called the forwarding table, which is then copied to the T640 routers (see Figure 2 on page 8).
(see Figure 3 on page 9). To manage the Routing Engines on a control plane, you must be logged into the Routing Engine in the TX Matrix router on that control plane. For example, you must be logged into the backup Routing Engine in the TX Matrix router to upgrade the software of all backup Routing Engines in the routing matrix.
Chapter 2: TX Matrix System Architecture Overview Figure 3: Routing Matrix Routing Engine Connections The TX Matrix Routing Engine connects to a high-speed switch through a 1-Gbps link within the host subsystem. The switch provides a 100-Mbps link to each T640 Routing Engine.
UTP Category 5 Ethernet cables between the RJ-45 ports on the TX-CIPs in the TX Matrix router and the T-CBs in the T640 routers. The maximum length supported is 100 m. The UTP Category 5 cables do not have to be the same length. The cable wiring is straight-through (not crossover).
ASICs to perform high-speed packet forwarding between the T640 routers. Each TX-SIB and the T640-SIBs connected to it represent a data switching plane that spans the TX Matrix router and all T640 routers in the routing matrix. The switching planes are connected by high-speed optical links within fiber-optic array cables.
T640 router forwards the packet to the destination PIC and interface. The switch fabric can forward up to 3 Gpps. The maximum aggregate throughput rate for the TX Matrix router is 2.56 Tbps (full duplex). Figure 6 on page 13 illustrates the switch fabric architecture.
TX Matrix Hardware Guide Switching Plane Connections Between the TX Matrix Router and T640 Routers The switching plane connections between the T640 routers and the TX Matrix router are provided by the fiber-optic array cables that connect the T640-SIBs to the TX-SIBs.
TX Matrix Hardware Guide TX Matrix Component Redundancy The TX Matrix router is designed so that no single point of failure can cause the entire system to fail. The following major hardware components are redundant: TX-SIBs—The TX Matrix router has five TX-SIBs.

29 on page 59 and Figure 30 on page 59 show a rack view and a top view of a centralized configuration in which the left and center racks each hold two T640 routers, and the right rack holds the TX Matrix router. In Figure 30 on page 59, each connection to a T640 router represents five fiber-optic array cables.
In the distributed configuration, the placement of the racks is more flexible. Ensure that the rack placement allows you to connect the T640 routers to the TX Matrix router using the fiber-optic array cables. The maximum cable length is 100 m. The total weight and heat dissipation of the routing matrix are important in the distributed configuration, but not as critical as in the centralized configuration.

The TX Matrix router provides all routing tables, along with updates, to each T640 router in the routing matrix.
The primary function of the Junos OS routing protocol process is maintaining routing tables and using the information in them to determine active routes to network destinations. The process copies information about the active routes into the TX Matrix Routing Engine's forwarding table, which is synchronized with each T640 router by the kernel synchronization process that runs on each T640 router's Routing Engine (see Figure 75 on page 151).
The routing protocol process then installs one or more active routes to each network destination into the TX Matrix Routing Engine’s forwarding table. MPLS routing table—Stores MPLS label information.
The chassis process running on the TX Matrix Routing Engine manages the components in the TX Matrix chassis, and the chassis process running on each T640 router Routing Engine manages the components in that router's chassis.
The kernel synchronization process runs on each T640 router's Routing Engine (see Figure 75 on page 151). This process synchronizes the TX Matrix Routing Engine's forwarding table with the forwarding table on a T640 router. The Junos kernel running on each T640 router's Routing Engine copies its forwarding table to all Packet Forwarding Engines in the router.
