M Series Features and Benefits
FEATURES BENEFITS
New service models • Industry’s most comprehensive VPN portfolio meets the largest number of customer needs and maximizes revenues
– Simultaneously run Layer 2 Virtual Circuit, Layer 2 VPN, Layer 2.5 Interworking VPNs, Layer 3 2547 VPN, VPLS, IPsec,
IP over IP, and GRE
– Highly scalable, supporting thousands of VPNs
• Granular QoS with low latency and jitter performance to support voice, video, and other real-time applications
– Per DLCI, per VP, per VC, per VLAN, per channel (DS0), and per port QoS
– Classification, rate limiting, shaping, weighted round-robin scheduling, strict priority scheduling, weighted random
early detection, random early detection, and packet marking
– Mapping Layer 2 (802.1p, CLP, DE) to Layer 3 QoS (IP DSCP, MPLS EXP)
• Hardware-based IPv6 performance, IPv6 over MPLS, IPv6 over IPv4 GRE tunnels, and IPv6/IPv4 dual stack functionality
• Robust multicast support, including IGMP v1/v2/v3, PIM-SM, PIM-DM, MLD, SSM, RP, MSDP, BSR, multicast in MPLS/
BGP VPNs to support resource-ecient delivery of high-value content
• Network-based security services including NAT and stateful firewall, and NAT and stateful firewall per VRF
• MLPPP, MLFR .15 and MLFR .16, and 802.3ad (including LACP) for aggregated links
• Juniper Flow accounting, source class usage, and destination class usage for flexible billing on a per-application or per-
CoS resource usage basis and for distance-based billing
– Multivendor network management solution through partnerships
• Industry-leading, XML-based Junoscript API facilitates third-party and in-house OSS development
• Session Border Controller services, for ecient deployment of scalable multimedia services resulting in both CapEx and
OpEx benefits
• Dynamic Application Awareness, enables more visibility to better derive value from trac
Services everywhere • One feature-rich Junos OS image runs across all M Series routers, ensuring consistent services and enabling providers to
market all services to all users regardless of connection or serving area density
– From the smallest PoPs to the largest PoPs, from the enterprise core to branch aggregation
– Over virtually any access technology including ATM, FR, Ethernet, and TDM connections
– At any speed, from DS0 to OC-192/STM-64
– Lowers operational costs
• Seamless migration to larger platforms to meet network growth
Proven dependability • Production-proven services scaled in the world’s largest networks
• Hitless switchover for RE switchover with non-stop forwarding
• In-service soware upgrades for disruption-free minor upgrades
• MPLS FRR to ensure trac can quickly reroute around failures
• MPLS TE path control for path optimization combined with predictable performance for latency-sensitive trac such as
voice and video
• Advanced OA&M features such as LSP ping for troubleshooting MPLS
• IETF Graceful Protocol Restart mechanism for hitless restarts of IS-IS, BGP, OSPF, OSPFv3, LDP, RSVP,
Layer 2 VPN, and Layer 3 VPN
• Modular Junos OS ensures that a failure of one module does not impact the entire operating system
• User-friendly commands for safely deploying new configurations to live networks and for rolling back to previous
working configurations
More from less
infrastructure
• Service-built architecture provides clean separation between control plane, forwarding plane, and services plane to
support multiple services on a single platform
– Maximum revenue with the lowest possible CapEx and OpEx
– Consolidate functions previously performed by discrete devices such as NAT, stateful firewall, IPsec, and QoS into a
single M Series router
– Multiple services on a single platform allows customers to trial many dierent services without capital investment,
and then to scale successful services to large user populations
• Robust Layer 2 VPNs, Layer 2.5 Interworking VPNs, and Layer 2 to Layer 3 QoS mapping for transparently, consolidating
multiple networks to a common IP/MPLS infrastructure
• Logical routers enable enterprises and providers to segment a router into multiple administrative and routing domains,
so that two completely dierent organizations can share infrastructure
Secure networks • High-performance Juniper Protect NAT, stateful firewall, attack detection, DPI/ IPS capabilities and IPsec via the
Multiservices PIC
• Separate routing plane and control plane enables stateful firewall protection of the control plane
• Juniper Flow stateful monitoring of packet flows with standard flowed v5 and v8 records for comprehensive monitoring
of the network
• Highly scalable filtering, unicast RPF, and rate limiting protects against IP spoofing and DOS attacks
• High-performance IPsec and IPsec over MPLS with digital certificate support for an additional layer of security
• Additional ubiquitous security features such as port mirroring, encrypted management session trac, secure tunneling
capabilities, secure remote logins, and configurable privilege levels and user accounts
