ChallengesCan the service provider edge handle millions of subscribers & smart devices and line rate user traffic on 10, 40 & 100G links?

Will my core router support 120K BGP sessions & 4 million routes?

Will the IDS/IPS systems, firewalls and load balancers meet their performance and security requirements?

mX2 use cases

‹#› PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

mX2 Use case # 1 – Port grouping/LAG

Customer need Validate Port grouping/LAG functionality in DUTs

Test device functionality

• Connect mX2 CFP-2 100G port to DUT on one side and 10x10G mX2 ports on other side of DUT. Setup LAG with the 10G ports

• Validate control and data plane LAG on the DUT including routing protocols (high scale BGP), hashing algorithms, failure, automatic bandwidth adjustments, resilience, and packet loss/jitter
