Juniper PTX10000 Series (PTX10004, PTX10008, PTX10016) – Product Details

The Juniper PTX10000 series is a family of high-density, high-performance packet transport routers designed for service provider core, metro aggregation, and high-scale data center interconnect (DCI). They run Juniper’s evolved Junos OS (formerly Junos Evolved).

Key Features (Common Across Series)

• Architecture: Distributed, programmable hardware with a high-speed backplane and centralized, redundant control plane.

• Operating System: Junos OS Evolved (Linux-native, microservices-based).

• Forwarding: Fully programmable P4 pipeline for next-generation features (Segment Routing, SRv6, MPLS, etc.).

• High Availability: Redundant routing engines (REs), power supplies, fans, and switch fabric modules (SFMs).

• Form Factor: Standalone, centralized chassis with front-to-rear airflow.

Product Specifications Table

Common Line Card Families (For all three chassis)

• JNP1000x-LC2xxx series: High-density 400GbE (QSFP56-DD) + 100GbE (QSFP56) capable.

• LC1101: 36-port 100GbE (QSFP28).

• Upcoming/Planar support: 800GbE ready (via optics/PHY).

Note: Exact port density depends on optics and breakout cables (e.g., 1×400GbE → 4×100GbE).

Software & Protocol Highlights

• Junos OS Evolved: Microservices architecture, faster upgrades, stateful restart.

• Segment Routing (SR-MPLS & SRv6): Full support for TI-LFA, Flex-Algo, SR Policies.

• MPLS/LDP/RSVP-TE: Full carrier-grade MPLS.

• EVPN/VXLAN: For DCI and multi-tenancy.

• Telemetry: gRPC, OpenConfig, Junos Telemetry Interface (JTI).

• Security: MACsec on select line cards (400GbE ports).

Physical & Environmental (All models)
