Juniper Networks MX960
Ethernet Services Router
Product Description
To ensure that the MX960 delivers the lowest cost per port without sacrificing
performance, reliability, scalability or functionality, it has been purpose-built to optimize
both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing functionality.
Ethernet based services present a significant new revenue opportunity for service
providers. These services include VPNs, point-to-point connectivity, high speed internet
access and video-based offerings. With continuous technology advances and ongoing
standards development, Ethernet is increasingly the technology of choice at the service
provider edge. As an example of Juniper’s commitment to delivering Ethernet-centric
solutions to meet the needs of next-generation networks and services, the MX960
offers unmatched scalability, performance, reliability and QoS for both business and
residential services.
The MX960 ESR is a high density Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet platform designed for
deployment in a number of service provider Ethernet edge scenarios. Examples of the
wide range of Ethernet services provided by the MX960 include:

Architecture and Key Components
Service providers are experiencing a variety
of processing and scaling demands for the
growth of Ethernet trafc in their edge networks.
Additionally, traditional carrier class elements
typically not found in Ethernet platforms are
now a requirement. These include hierarchical
quality of service (QoS), logical interface
scalability, High Availability features and MPLS
feature richness. The MX960 Ethernet Services
Router (ESR) was designed to address these
specic Ethernet requirements. Powered by the
industry leading JUNOS operating system and
the high performance I-Chip, the MX960 delivers
the scalability, reliability, performance and
feature richness needed to meet the evolving
requirements of the Carrier Ethernet market.
