On the heels of Verizon’s announcement that it’s turning up 100G Ethernet routes with Juniper routers, Cisco this week is said AT&T and Comcast are now deploying 100G Ethernet in production mode based on the CRS-3. Both had been trialing it for the pas…
This from a recent press release: SUNNYVALE, CA, Aug 04, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — Juniper Networks(R) (JNPR 28.31, -0.17, -0.60%) today announced that several of its routing, switching and circuit-to-packet solutions have been tested and certified by the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) for interoperability with Defense Department [...]
By now, all of our readers are sure to know all about AT&Ts supply chain streamlining and their break from the two vendor rule in the IP core. Juniper, Cisco and Alcatel-Lucent will all provide equipment for the carriers wireline and wireless IP core. Rounding out the coverage of this announcement from AT&T are a [...]
The choice of these three vendors makes sense. It gives AT&T plenty of options for its IP/MPLS router and Carrier Ethernet deployments.See all stories on this topic »

High Praises for JUNOS High Availability
Building a network capable of providing connectivity for simple business applications is a fairly straightforward and well-understood process. However, building networks capable of surviving varying degrees of failure and [...]
MPLS/BGP Provider-Provisioned VPNs, such as those proposed in RFC 4364 (formerly RFC 2547) or draft-kompella variants, suffer from some scalability issues due to the fact that all PE routers are required to have a full iBGP mesh in order to exchange VPN-IPv4 NLRI and associated VPN label information. In a modern network consisting of a large number of [...]

Excellent coverage of VPLS, and Multicast over Layer 3 VPNs
Recently I had to work on a project which involved demonstrating Multicast over Layer 3 VPN interoperability between Cisco and Juniper. I spent several days reading through all the RFCs and working-group [...]

Ericsson announced this week that it was selected by AT&T as one of its “domain” suppliers, specifically for wireline access. AT&T domains are 8 to 15 areas within its service network where it will select two strategic vendors to provide infrastructure. Read more
Here I have some information on MTU Juniper, I had investigated it for a customer while ago. The actual frames transmitted also contain cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits, which are not part of the media MTU. For example, the media …
JUNOS now support MPLS-in-GRE & MPLS-in-IP. You guys can now encapsulate the MPLS label stack for a packet with an IP header, making it possible to tunnel MPLS over networks that do not have MPLS enabled on their core routers. The JUNOS software su…

TThere are numerous misconception about VPLS support on Juniper Fast Ethernet PICs. Here is a little quick workaround running VPLS on Juniper’s “PE-4FE-TX and PB-4FE-TX” PICs. This setup requires MPLS LSPs between PEs…
