The Juniper MX960 Universal Routing Platform is a high-capacity, modular edge and core router designed for service provider, cloud and large enterprise networks that require extensive scale, performance and multiservice support. As part of the MX Series, it delivers up to 12 Tbps of system capacity in a 12-slot chassis, with programmable interfaces and flexible module options supporting high-density 10 GbE, 40 GbE, 100 GbE and 400 GbE connectivity.
Powered by Junos OS, the MX960 provides advanced Layer 2/Layer 3 routing, MPLS, EVPN-VXLAN, segment routing and rich timing and automation capabilities for demanding network environments.
Ideal deployment / environment:
The MX960 is well suited to high-capacity edge and core routing roles in large service provider, carrier and cloud networks that demand multi-terabit throughput, extensive interface density and rich protocol support. Its modular architecture and support for diverse interface speeds make it suitable for metro aggregation, IP/MPLS transport, broadband edge, peering and data-centre gateway applications. With advanced routing features and robust redundancy, MX960 delivers resilient, scalable service delivery for environments requiring high availability and flexible traffic engineering.
