Demonstrating the remarkable capabilities of this high-performance router
Go inside the Juniper Networks Sunnyvale lab with CEO Rami Rahim as he gets a firsthand look at the “next-gen, super-awesome” 400G PTX10008 packet transport router.
You’ll learn
The number of terabytes the system can handle per second (hint: it’s a lot)
Why the PTX10008 is essential for running mission-critical traffic
How you can turn on encryption without sacrificing performance
Who is this for?

00:02 so i'm here in a sunnyvale lab
00:04 where we are developing our next-gen
00:07 super awesome 400 gig capable router
00:09 joining me is ranjit who is a principal
00:12 engineer
00:13 and a leader on this project it's great
00:15 to have you here
00:16 hi remy it's absolutely a pleasure to
00:18 have you in our lab
00:20 tell me a little bit about the this
00:21 project what i have to show you here is
00:24 we have a next-gen ptx 1008 system with
00:27 upgraded fabric power and cooling system
00:30 it comes with eight line cards each line
00:33 curve comes with 36 400 ports
00:35 okay so there are total of 288
00:38 400 ports on the system how many
00:41 terabits of traffic does that add up to
00:44 115 terabit per second okay that's so
00:47 this is a
00:48 pretty high performance router we're
00:49 talking about here right okay now can we
00:51 run some traffic through it
00:53 to see what the actual performance of
00:54 the system is sure
00:56 so Rami we have set up our juniper
00:59 control health bot
01:00 plugged into our device to monitor the
01:03 device live
01:04 and we've been running the traffic full
01:06 load traffic that is 115 terabit per
01:09 second
01:10 okay and i want to show you the graph
01:12 here the graph here on the left
01:14 is the total input traffic the graph on
01:17 the right is the total output traffic so
01:20 essentially the input graph and the up
01:22 graph look exactly the same where is the
01:24 graph that shows the number of packets
01:25 that are dropped there is zero packet
01:26 drop
01:27 no packet right now back and forth maybe
01:28 that was a little bit of a softball
01:30 because this is not the first time we've
01:31 developed
01:32 a line rate router before this just
01:34 happens to be
01:35 a very fast line rate router and talk
01:39 to our customers around the globe our
01:40 service provider our cloud
01:42 government customers they all tell me
01:45 that the kind of traffic that they're
01:46 running over these networks is
01:47 mission critical in many cases our
01:50 health
01:51 our safety our lives depends on this
01:53 connectivity and the traffic that runs
01:55 over these networks
01:56 and so security and encryption becomes
02:00 really important so can you do me a
02:01 favor insert another line card
02:04 that supports encryption and i'd like to
02:06 see what the performance would look like
02:08 in that scenario absolutely i mean and i
02:10 know you will
02:11 like to see this that's why what i have
02:13 done is i have enabled
02:14 uh maxic encryption on a 400 gig port
02:18 with liner traffic and i would like to
02:20 show you this is another line card or
02:22 is this the same line card with
02:24 encryption enabled
02:26 it's the same line card it's just a
02:28 software knob enabled
02:30 which enables the encryption with line
02:31 rate traffic okay so
02:33 what happens to the performance there is
02:35 not no packet drop at all
02:37 you will see foreign gig throughput even
02:39 with encryption enabled okay my mind is
02:41 blown this is truly game changing you're
02:44 telling me i can tell my customers
02:46 they can just turn on encryption without
02:49 any sort of sacrifice or
02:51 compromise to the performance of the
02:52 system not even
02:54 a meaningful power hit to the system
02:56 that's correct that
02:57 is unbelievable great work ranjit
03:10 you
