•Applicaon-Aware Networking—On MX Series routers you can use deep packet inspecon to detect
applicaons, and by using the user-dened policies, you can determine trac treatment for each
applicaon. This feature enables highly customized and dierenated services at scale.
•Junos Connuity and Unied In-Service Soware Upgrade (Unied ISSU)—With the Junos
connuity plug-in package, you can perform a smooth upgrade when new hardware is installed in
your MX Series router.
Unied in-service soware upgrade (unied ISSU) enables soware upgrades and changes without
disrupng network trac.
•Junos Telemetry Interface—Using the Junos telemetry interface data, you can stream component-
level data to monitor, analyze, and enhance the performance of the network. Analycs derived from
this streaming telemetry can idenfy current and trending congeson, resource ulizaon, trac
volume, and buer occupancy.
•Integrated Hardware-Based Timing— You do not need to use external clocks because MX Series
routers support highly scalable and reliable hardware-based ming, including Synchronous Ethernet
for frequency, and the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for frequency and phase synchronizaon.
Synchronous Ethernet and PTP can be combined in a hybrid mode to achieve a high level of
frequency (10 ppb) and phase (<1.5 uS) accuracy.
MX150 Hardware
The MX150 provide carrier-grade level of a rich set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features. The MX150 has
eight 1-Gigabit Ethernet network ports, two 1-Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports that can be used as either
access ports or as uplink ports, two SFP ports, two SFP+ ports, and one management port. The MX150
has a 1 U form factor and is shipped with built-in fans and power supply.
