Key Features and Benefits
Unmatched Network Availability
MX Series routers ensure network and service availability with
a broad set of multilayered physical, logical, and protocol-level
resiliency features, including Juniper’s Virtual Chassis technology,
which supports chassis-level redundancy while enabling users
to manage two routers as a single element. Additionally, a
multichassis link aggregation group (MC-LAG) implementation
supports stateful chassis, card, and port redundancy, as well as
subscriber and session persistence.
Application Aware Networking
MX Series routers use deep packet inspection to detect
applications, and they consult with user-defined policies to
determine traffic treatment on a per-application basis, enabling
highly customized and differentiated services at scale. Working
in conjunction with Juniper Networks Contrail Cloud Platform,
MX Series routers can also steer into complex service chains
and stream granular data to analytics engines and back-office
systems to permit real-time charging and end-user engagement
at the application and content level.
Junos Continuity and Unified In-Service Soware
Upgrade (Unified ISSU)
Junos Continuity and Unified ISSU features remove the downtime
risks associated with implementing new hardware or upgrading
operating systems.
• Junos Continuity eliminates OS upgrades and system
reboots when adding new hardware to MX Series routers;
a plug-in package provides the drivers and support files
needed to bring the hardware online.
• Unified ISSU reduces the risks associated with OS upgrades
by enabling upgrades between two different Junos OS
releases (major or minor) with no control plane disruption
and minimal traffic disruption on the forwarding plane.
Junos Telemetry Interface
The Junos Telemetry Interface feature streams component-level
data to monitoring, analytics, performance management, and
visualization tools as well as to Path Computation Elements
such as Juniper Networks NorthStar Controller. Analytics derived
from this streaming telemetry can identify current and trending
congestion, resource utilization, traffic volume, and buffer
occupancy, which can be used to identify issues and make
informed decisions on network design and investments.
