Juniper Networks MX10016 Universal Roung Plaorm enables cloud and data center operators to
transion from 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 40-Gigabit Ethernet networks to 100-Gigabit Ethernet high-
performance networks. The 21 rack unit (21 U) modular chassis can provide 38.4 Tbps of throughput.
The MX10016 router has 16 slots for the line cards that can support a maximum of 1536 10-Gigabit
Ethernet ports, 384 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports, or 384 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports. You can deploy the
MX10016 router in an IP edge network.
You can deploy MX10016 in the edge of the network for the following funcons:
• Layer 3 peering
• Data center gateway
• VPLS aggregaon
• Layer 3 aggregaon
• Video distribuon
The MX10016 router is available in both base and redundant conguraons for both AC and DC
operaon. MX10016 features front-to-back airow (also known as airow out or AFO).
Benets of the MX10016 Router
•System capacity— MX10016 scales to 38.4 Tbps (76.8 Tbps half- duplex) in a single chassis, with
support for up to 1536 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 384 40-Gigabit Ethernet, and 384 100-Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces.
•Full-scale IP and MPLS roung—The MX10016 delivers a distributed peering scale of 8.6 million
entries in the forwarding informaon bases (FIBs, also known as forwarding tables) and 80 million
entries in the roung informaon bases (RIBs also known as roung tables).
•Source Packet Roung in Networking (SPRING)—SPRING on the MX10016 provides addional
exibility per packet source. SPRING provides features such as network path and node protecon to
support MPLS fast reroute (FRR) mechanisms, enhanced network programmability, OAM
funconality, simplied network signaling, load balancing, and trac engineering funcons.
•Always-on infrastructure base—The MX10016 is engineered with full hardware redundancy for
cooling, switch fabric, and host subsystems—Roung and Control Boards (RCBs)—allowing service
providers to meet stringent service-level agreements across the core.
•Nondisrupve soware upgrades—The Junos operang system on MX10016 supports high
availability (HA) features such as graceful Roung Engine switchover (GRES), nonstop acve roung
(NSR), and unied in-service soware upgrade (unied ISSU), providing soware upgrades and
changes without disrupng network trac.
