MPC5EQ-40G10G Use Case
High-Density L3VPN Service Delivery for Tier-1 Service Providers
A global service provider leverages the MPC5EQ-40G10G-MPC5EQ-40G10G MPC (optics sold separately) to terminate 32 concurrent L3VPN instances per line card. Full-scale L2/L2.5 switching and HQoS with 1 million hardware queues guarantees strict SLA enforcement across 40 Gbps and 10 Gbps customer links. With up to 2 million FIB entries and 6 million RIB entries, the platform scales to millions of customer routes. Benefit: Accelerates multi-tenant VPN rollout, ensures deterministic performance, and maximizes per-port revenue with simplified provisioning and end-to-end SLA compliance.
Scalable Data Center Spine with Full-Scale L2/L2.5 Switching and HQoS
A hyperscale data center deploys MPC5EQ-40G10G-MPC5EQ-40G10G MPC cards (requires optics sold separately) in its spine layer to deliver sub-microsecond VXLAN/EVPN segmentation at full line rate. Full-scale L2/L2.5 forwarding and 1 million hardware queues enable per-tenant bandwidth guarantees and congestion isolation. Reduced-scale L3 routing handles north-south traffic efficiently, leveraging up to 2 million FIB and 6 million RIB entries for massive east-west and internet connectivity. Benefit: Provides deterministic low-latency performance, frictionless multi-tenant scaling, and simplified QoS policy enforcement across thousands of virtual networks.
Multi-Service Enterprise WAN with Advanced QoS and Route Scale
A Fortune 500 enterprise uses the MPC5EQ-40G10G-MPC5EQ-40G10G MPC line card (optics sold separately) to interconnect 200+ branch offices over a blended 40 Gbps/10 Gbps MPLS and internet WAN. HQoS and 1 million queues ensure voice, video, and critical ERP traffic adhere to strict latency/jitter SLAs. Up to 32 L3VPN instances per card provide department-level segmentation; 2 million FIB and 6 million RIB entries support global routing tables. Benefit: Enhances application performance, strengthens traffic isolation, and reduces operational complexity with a single high-density, multi-service platform.
