MX2K-MPC9E-RTU-IRB Use Case

High-Speed Data Center Interconnect (DCI) with MX2K-MPC9E-RTU-IRB-1.6Tbps

In a global enterprise DCI deployment, the MX2K-MPC9E-RTU-IRB-1.6Tbps 2-slot modular line card delivers full-scale L2/L2.5 EVPN-VXLAN bridging and 1.6Tbps of throughput across six licensed 400G ports. Operators leverage full-scale FIB/RIB for sub-millisecond route convergence between primary and secondary sites, while IRB simplifies multitenant VLAN segmentation. Outcome: seamless multi-data-center connectivity, 20% lower cross-site latency, and scalable cloud-bursting under a unified control plane.

Tier-1 ISP Edge Aggregation and L3VPN Service Delivery

A Tier-1 service provider deploys the MX2K-MPC9E-RTU-IRB-1.6Tbps card to aggregate residential and enterprise traffic at the network edge. Full-scale FIB/RIB supports millions of BGP routes and EVPN-IRB, while up to 32 L3VPN instances isolate customer VPNs. Six licensed 400G ports provide high-capacity peering and dynamic MPLS L2.5 forwarding. Outcome: 40% faster VPN provisioning, 30% reduction in capex per Gbps, and consistent SLA compliance across all customer segments.

5G Mobile Backhaul with EVPN-IRB and MPLS L2.5

In a nationwide 5G mobile backhaul rollout, the MX2K-MPC9E-RTU-IRB-1.6Tbps card aggregates C-RAN and macro cell traffic over six 400G links. Full-scale L2/L2.5 MPLS forwarding and IRB deliver VLAN-aware routing for fronthaul and transport slices, while up to 32 L3VPN instances provide logical separation of subscriber and enterprise services. Outcome: 25% improvement in transport utilization, unified L2/L3 operations, and guaranteed sub-10 ms latency for critical 5G applications.
