MX2K-MPC9EQ-IRB Use Case
Multi-Tenant Data Center Interconnect with MX2K-MPC9EQ-IRB-1.6Tbps for Scalable, Secure L3VPN Segmentation
In a global cloud provider environment, network architects deploy the MX2K-MPC9EQ-IRB-1.6Tbps, 2-slot modular line card bundle (interface cards sold separately) across two MX2020 chassis to interconnect six geographically dispersed data centers. Leveraging up to 32 L3VPN instances per card, full-scale L2/L2.5 and L3 forwarding, plus per-VLAN queuing and H-QoS, the solution delivers 1.6 Tbps of aggregated throughput and strict tenant isolation. Outcome: cost-efficient multi-tenant segmentation, predictable SLAs, and seamless workload mobility for hundreds of virtualized customers.
Service Provider Edge Aggregation with MX2K-MPC9EQ-IRB-1.6Tbps for High-Capacity Residential and Business Services
A Tier-1 ISP integrates the MX2K-MPC9EQ-IRB-1.6Tbps line card bundle into its edge POPs to aggregate 10 × 100GbE transport links and deliver residential broadband and business Ethernet services. By activating full-scale L2/L2.5, advanced L3VPN features (up to 32 instances), per-VLAN queuing, and H-QoS, the provider enforces SLA-grade bandwidth policies and traffic prioritization. Outcome: streamlined port density, guaranteed performance for voice/video and enterprise VPNs, and seamless broadband scale-out without forklift upgrades.
Enterprise Campus Core Routing with MX2K-MPC9EQ-IRB-1.6Tbps for Unified Communications and Critical Application QoS
A multinational financial firm upgrades its campus core by installing two MX2K-MPC9EQ-IRB-1.6Tbps line card bundles (interfaces sold separately) in redundant MX platforms. The deployment utilizes full-scale L2/L2.5 switching, L3 routing, up to 32 L3VPNs for departmental isolation, plus per-VLAN queuing and hierarchical QoS to prioritize trading systems, VoIP and video conferencing. Outcome: sub-millisecond latency for mission-critical apps, end-to-end QoS guarantees, and 1.6 Tbps of non-blocking capacity for future growth.
