FPC3-PTX-2H-IR Use Case
Tier 1 ISP High-Scale MPLS Core with FPC3-PTX-2H-IR-PTX5000
A global Tier 1 Internet Service Provider deploys the 3rd generation 2T FPC3-PTX-2H-IR in half-capacity mode to power its MPLS Label Switch Router (LSR) backbone. By leveraging half-capacity operation, the PTX5000 line card delivers 1 Tbps of deterministic throughput across dozens of 100 GbE ports, cutting power usage by 30 % and lowering OPEX while sustaining full carrier-grade resilience and sub-50 ms fail-over SLAs.
Hyperscale Internet Exchange Peering with FPC3-PTX-2H-IR-PTX5000
A leading cloud content provider integrates the FPC3-PTX-2H-IR-PTX5000 in half-capacity to aggregate multiple 100 GbE peering sessions at a major Internet Exchange. This deployment achieves 1 Tbps of aggregate peering capacity, enabling ultra-low latency connectivity, streamlined route-filtering, and a 25 % reduction in cost-per-Gb by optimizing port licensing and power consumption without sacrificing high-scale LSR performance.
Global Data Center Interconnect for Financial Services with FPC3-PTX-2H-IR-PTX5000
A multinational financial institution uses the 3rd generation 2T FPC3 in half-capacity mode to build a resilient, high-scale LSR fabric across its data centers. The PTX5000 card delivers 1 Tbps of secure MPLS-TE traffic, enabling deterministic bandwidth for real-time trading applications, achieving sub-5 ms reconvergence, and reducing rack power draw by 20 %, thereby improving transaction throughput and regulatory compliance.
