Juniper Networks MX series 3D universal edge routers are a portfolio of high performance, software-centric routers that support a broad set of enterprise, data center/cloud, mobile service core, business, and residential applications. With powerful routing, switching, and services capabilities, the MX series delivers unmatched flexibility and investment protection.
Powered by Juniper Networks Junos operating system, the MX series streamlines network operations and improves the availability, performance, and security of all types of services. It offers the most complete, advanced features in the industry, including traffic segmentation and virtualization with MPLS, subscriber management, sophisticated virtualization techniques such as Virtual Chassis technology and cloud CPE, low-latency multicast, as well as comprehensive security and QoS implementations that ensure the quality delivery of time-sensitive applications and services.
With the MX series, all major components are field replaceable, increasing system availability and decreasing mean time to repair (MTTR). Carrier-class reliability and high availability features on the MX series include graceful restart, nonstop active routing (NSR), MPLS fast reroute, unified in-service software upgrade (unified ISSU), a comprehensive OAM toolkit, and service-level resiliency with features such as virtual private LAN service (VPLS) multihoming.
MX series 3D universal edge routers provide the 3D scale, bandwidth, services, and subscribers that enterprises and service providers need to command a competitive advantage in today's Ethernet environment.

Comprehensive broadband edge capabilities
The MX series provides a powerful broadband network gateway (BNG) that lets operators provision broadband services for today and tomorrow with support for Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) subscriber termination, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), IPv4/IPv6 local server, and relay proxy for subscribers' migration to DHCP access models. Juniper's solution also supports RADIUS and Diameter back-end servers to facilitate authentication, policy control, and accounting, and it offers flexible L2/L3 wholesale models. The MX series BNG also delivers advanced features such as hierarchical queuing, granular QoS, and dynamic multilayer service activation.
-
Broad business edge capabilities
The MX series provides a comprehensive VPN toolkit that enables feature-rich, standards-based, secure interworking and streamlined operations needed to help you reduce expenses and enable innovative business services. In addition to basic L3 VPN, L2 VPN, and VPLS, enhanced VPN service support includes QoS prioritized VPN traffic for voice and video, VPN-aware multicast and firewall services that leverage technologies such as LDP-BGP VPLS interworking, point-to-multipoint label-switched paths (P2MP LSPs), BGP-based multicast L3VPN, L2 VPN interworking to connect dissimilar L2 access networks, MPLS Plug-and-Play, and IPsec/GRE VPNs.
-
Metro Ethernet capabilities
The MX series is Carrier Ethernet 2.0 certified and supports metro Ethernet and aggregation solutions with a full suite of routing and switching features, allowing you to choose the deployment model that best fits your business and technical needs. The MX series can be flexibly deployed as an IP/IP VPN edge router, VPLS provider edge router, MPLS label-switching router (LSR), L2 switch, or L3 router in mobile, fixed, and cable networks.
-
SDN gateway capabilities
With support for Multiprotocol BGP (MBGP), dynamic tunnels using MPLS-over-GRE or VXLAN encapsulation, virtual routing tables and forwarding (VRF) and EVI (E-VPNs), mechanisms to send traffic between VRF and global routing table based on configuration and policy, and support for NETCONF, the MX series is ideal for SDN gateway functions between virtual and physical networks or between virtual networks operating with different technologies.
