Description
The Juniper MX960 is a high‑performance, modular universal edge routing platform designed for the most demanding service provider, enterprise WAN, cloud edge, and data center environments. Powered by the Junos OS network operating system and Juniper’s programmable silicon, the MX960 delivers advanced routing, switching, security, and service capabilities with extremely high scale and reliability. Its modular chassis supports a wide range of interface modules — including dense 10/40/100 GbE and emerging 400 GbE ports — enabling operators to configure flexible network architectures for broadband, VPN services, peering, and multicast applications.
The MX960’s modular architecture includes slots for Dense Port Concentrators (DPCs), Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs), Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs), and multiple Switch Control Boards (SCBs), supporting up to 10.56 Tbps system capacity in fully populated configurations. The chassis offers redundant power supplies, routing engines, and fans to ensure high availability for mission‑critical networks. Advanced carrier‑grade features like MACsec encryption without performance penalties, flexible Ethernet (FlexE), multiprotocol VPNs, and timing functions extend its value across next‑generation network deployments.
Key Features:
• Universal routing & edge services with advanced Layer 2/Layer 3, VPN, MPLS, and SDN gateway functions.
• Modular chassis architecture with support for a wide variety of MPCs/MICs, PICs, and up to 10.56 Tbps switch fabric capacity.
• High‑density interface support including 10/40/100 GbE (and beyond with newer modules).
• Carrier‑grade resiliency features — redundant Routing Engines, Switch Control Boards, power, and fan modules.
• Programmable Junos OS and support for advanced services including MACsec, FlexE, BNG, and SDN integration.
