• Responses have focused on adding capacity in the

form of point-to-point bandwidth
• Challenges facing mobile operators are a paramount
concern
Current State of Access Networks
Various types of network access have evolved over time, from circuits to packets, from time-division multiplexing (TDM) to
IP/Ethernet, and from wireline to wireless. So it is only natural that there are multiple access networks for different
applications with many touch points, and this reality leaves operators with an obvious management challenge.
Many of the responses—also logical given the choices available—have been to focus on adding capacity in the form of point-
to-point bandwidth from access to aggregation, with the only innovation being to replace TDM with Ethernet. Truck rolls are
typically required for minor operational changes, and there is inconsistent quality in telephone calls (jitter, dropped calls)
and Internet access connections.
As more and more access connections require wireless support, the challenges facing mobile operators become of
paramount concern. These challenges range from the rising tide of packet traffic, to the underlying transport technology, to
management of the end-to-end network.

Slide 9
Universal Edge
• Service providers have traditionally deployed separate networks for
business, residential and mobile customers
• Universal Edge unifies disparate edge networks into a single service

delivery platform for business, residential and mobile applications

Universal Edge
Traditionally, service providers have deployed separate networks for their business, residential, and mobile customers.
Convergence and network simplification have been hallmark trends for service providers in recent years, and Juniper has
led the way with the Universal Edge—one common platform for business, residential, and mobile subscribers. Access
networks could also benefit from consolidation, but this has remained a challenge due to the disparate technologies
developed for mobile, residential, and business access. Instead of relying on separate access devices to connect customers,
operators want to converge access networks to deliver both a more predictable experience to users and better economics to
shareholders.

Universal Access
Juniper’s Universal Access solution is based on the high-performance Juniper Networks ACX Series Universal Access
Routers, anchoring the first fully integrated, end-to-end network architecture that combines operational intelligence with
capital cost savings. With Universal Access, operators can extend the edge network and its capabilities to the customer,
whether that’s a cell tower, a multi-tenant unit, or a residential aggregation point. This creates a seamless MPLS
architecture that is critical to delivering the benefits of 4G radio and packet core evolution with minimal truck rolls, paving
the way for new revenue, new business models, and a more flexible and efficient network.
Universal Access also uses Junos Space to offer a single management plane. This enables an open, standards-based
management system that allows for rapid provisioning, fault management, Operation, Administration, and Maintenance
(OAM), and service monitoring, as well as integration into existing management systems. In addition, proven synchronization
technology results in better utilization of assets—more calls added, fewer calls dropped, and more data transported with
fewer retransmissions, leading to happier customers and a healthier bottom line.

Juniper’s ACX Series Access and Aggregation Portfolio
The ACX Series, a key component of Universal Access, is built to support diverse service architectures. It enables rapid
deployment of access services, and it transforms the network to create a seamless end-to-end service delivery architecture.
ACX Series routers enable the Universal Access architecture to run Juniper Networks Junos operating system (Junos OS)
from access to edge to core, providing a seamless end-to-end service delivery network for all applications and customers.
The operational intelligence of IP/MPLS in the Junos OS permits traffic steering and makes efficient use of existing
bandwidth. Flexible services can be applied at the access layer and optimized per customer. ACX Series routers also
incorporate the Juniper Networks TCA Series Timing Appliances’ technology to deliver high precision, high bandwidth,
carrier-class timing and synchronization.
The ACX Series platforms include fixed form factor models—the ACX1000, ACX1100, ACX2100, and ACX2200 Universal
Access Routers—and a modular option in the ACX4000 Universal Access Router. The ACX5000 line of Universal Access
Routers are high density, high capacity, low cost 1-Gigabit Ethernet / 10-Gigabit Ethernet / 40-Gigabit Ethernet access and
aggregation routers targeted for Metro Ethernet access and aggregation deployments. The fixed form factor ACX500 routers
are designed for indoor and outdoor small cell deployments.

End-To-End Metro-E Solution Managed by Junos Space
Juniper’s Junos Space is a comprehensive network management solution that simplifies and automates management of
Juniper’s switching, routing, and security devices. Junos Space consists of a network management platform for deep
element management, domain-optimized management applications for reducing costs and provisioning new services
quickly, and a programmable software development kit (SDK) for customization. Working cohesively, Junos Space offers a
unified network management and orchestration solution to help service providers to more efficiently manage their networks.
Junos Space provides standard element management system (EMS) functions relating to device discovery, configuration
management, role-based access control, scripting, and device image management. Fault and performance management is
available through the integration of the OpenNMS platform into Junos Space.
A powerful REST API layer enables northbound operations support systems (OSS) and business support systems (BSS)
platforms to access management functions and implement automation.
The Device Management Interface (DMI) is basically a Netconf kind of southbound interface; all Junos OS devices use this
interface to communicate with Junos Space. A DMI adaptor has been written for TCA and Netscreen.
The Multi-Technology Operations System Interface (MTOSI) is a telecom standard, object-oriented language for exchanging
information that operators are moving away from. REST API is based on web technologies and the XML interface, and is
more popular.

Metrocell Deployment Use Case
On this slide we are showing a simple Metrocell deployment use case for the ACX500. In this application, an ACX500 is
placed indoors and serves the small cell and the various femtocells (which are small, low-power cellular base stations). The
ACX500 provides IPsec functionality for management traffic, acts as a DHCP server for the small cells, and also performs
NAT. The reason why it performs NAT and IPsec is because the traffic is traversing the third-party ISP network that is
essentially untrusted, and thus ,there is a need for address translation and a secure connection.

ACX5000 Line
The ACX5000 line of routers are ideal for Metro Ethernet access and aggregation deployments in Carrier Ethernet networks.
Built to handle 1-Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet capacity and density, ACX5000 routers also feature 40-Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces for network-to-network interface (NNI) uplinks and full support of E-LINE, E-LAN, E-TREE, and E-ACCESS,
as well as IP VPN services. These routers support your business with high availability networking features such as unified in-
service software upgrade (unified ISSU) and Junos operating system, which enable dependable and consistent delivery of
mission-critical voice and video traffic.
ACX5000 routers also offer service virtualization on a dedicated and customizable KVM-compliant virtual machine (VM) that
can execute operational scripts and programs for network performance monitoring and analysis.
The following two form factors are available: ACX5048 and ACX5096.
The ACX5048 is a 1 U platform with 48 SFP+ 1-Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, and six QSFP 40-Gigabit
Ethernet ports. The ACX5048 provides 1.44 Tbps of throughput.
The ACX5096 is a 2 U platform with 96 SFP+ 1-Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, and eight QSFP 40-Gigabit
Ethernet ports. The ACX5096 provides 2.56 Tbps of throughput.

Understanding Transparent Clocks in

Precision Time Protocol
 PTP standardized by IEEE 1588 improves the current
methods of synchronization used within a distributed
network
 Transparent clocks measure and adjust for packet
delay
 Transparent clocks improve synchronization between
the master and slave clocks
Understanding Transparent Clocks in Precision Time Protocol
The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) standardized by IEEE 1588 improves the current methods of synchronization used within
a distributed network. You can use PTP across packet-based networks including, but not limited to, Ethernet networks.
Queuing and buffering delays in the switch can cause variable delay to packets, which affects path delay measurements.
Queuing delays vary based on the network load and also depend on the architecture of the switch or the router.
Transparent clocks measure and adjust for packet delay. The transparent clock computes the variable delay as the PTP
packets pass through the switch or the router. The switch (QFX5100 or EX4600) or the router (ACX5048 or ACX5096
routers) act as transparent clocks only and operates between the master and slave clocks in a distributed network.
Transparent clocks improve synchronization between the master and slave clocks and ensure that the master and slave
clocks are not impacted by the effects of packet delay variation. The transparent clock measures the residence time (the
time that the packet spends passing through the switch or the router), and adds the residence time into the correction field
of the PTP packet. The slave clock accounts for the packet delay by using both the timestamp of when it started and the
information in the correction field.

Slide 29
Transparent Clock Support on ACX Series
 ACX5048 and ACX5096 routers support end-to-end

transparent clocks
•Supports only the one-step process
•No support for PTP over IPv6 for transparent clocks
 You can enable or disable a transparent clock globally
for the switch or router
ACX5048 ACX5048 and ACX5096 routers do not support:
• Boundary clock
• Ordinary clock
ACX5096
• Transparent clock over MPLS switched path
• Transparent clock with more than two VLAN tags
Transparent Clock Support on ACX Series
ACX5048 and ACX5096 routers support end-to-end transparent clocks. With an end-to-end transparent clock, only the
residence time is included in the correction field of the PTP packets. The residence timestamps are sent in one packet as a
one-step process. In a two-step process, estimated timestamps are sent in one packet, and additional packets contain
updated timestamps. ACX5048 and ACX5096 routers support only the one-step process, which means that the timestamps
are sent in one packet.
You can enable or disable a transparent clock globally for the switch or router. With a global configuration, the same
configuration is applied to each interface. If the transparent clock is disabled, PTP packet correction fields are not updated.
If the transparent clock is enabled, the PTP packet correction fields are updated. PTP over Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, unicast, and
multicast for transparent clocks are supported. ACX5048 and ACX5096 routers do not support PTP over IPv6 for
transparent clocks.
ACX5048 and ACX5096 routers do not support the following:

• Boundary clock;
• Ordinary clock;
• Transparent clock over MPLS switched path; and
• Transparent clock with more than two VLAN tags.

VM Software Architecture
 NFV adoption is on the minds of service providers

 ACX5000 Series natively runs a KVM hypervisor

VM Software Architecture
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is on the minds of many service providers who will continue looking for opportunities
to migrate to architectures with virtualized and centrally located network applications. Practically any network function can
be run on x86. Meanwhile, the enforcement point for the network policies related to a function, by its nature, might belong
to access or aggregation network segments and can’t be easily taken off the box. As an example, think about a class of
different probes or traffic optimization applications running on virtual machines (VMs) physically located on x86 blades
inside the access node. Initiating and managing of the distributed VM should be arranged seamlessly with centrally located
VMs by the controller—Contrail Controller, for example—by way of an overlaid network infrastructure.
The concept of distributed NFV will leverage the new architecture introduced by the ACX5000 Series devices which natively
run a KVM hypervisor, which in turn hosts VMs with two replicas of the Junos OS (active and standby) and can run third-party
or Juniper applications in the future.

Slide 31
Zero Touch Deployment Models
ZTD
•Significantly minimizes the time for any new
equipment installation and provisioning
•Lower OpEx and TCO
•Improved operational efficiency
Two Deployment Models

•Push method:
•No network management solution needed
•Pull method:
•Uses assistance from a network management solution
Zero Touch Deployment Models
Based on Junos OS automation capabilities, ACX Series routers support a zero touch deployment (ZTD) model. The ZTD
model significantly minimizes the time for any new equipment installation and provisioning, resulting in lower OpEx and TCO
and improved operational efficiency. In addition, the ZTD model reduces the traditional complexity of deploying MPLS in the
access network.
The ZTD process includes two deployment methods: the Push method and the Pull method. These deployment methods can
be used to deploy ACX Series routers across a wide variety of deployment scenarios.

Slide 32

Zero Touch Deployment: Push Method Overview
The Push method of deploying ACX Series routers uses assistance provided by a network management solution. The Junos
Space Platform provides rapid deployment support, including device discovery, configuration templates, and OS upgrade
capabilities. Once the devices are deployed, Junos Space can then serve as an ongoing central network management
solution.
Zero touch deployment using Junos Space can be accomplished using scripts and aggregation routers configured as ZTD
helpers to establish connectivity to the configuration server.
The Push method involves the ACX Series router and a centralized configuration server, with help from the Junos Space
Network Management Platform:
• The ACX Series router uses information obtained during the initial auto-installation process to connect to the
configuration server (which has DHCP, TFTP, and FTP services enabled).
• A basic configuration is loaded onto the ACX Series router from the configuration server.
• In scenarios where the ACX Series router does not have reachability to make the initial connection to the
configuration server, the ZTD method is not possible. In these cases, a variation called one touch deployment is
available. This method uses a USB drive to load the basic configuration onto the ACX Series router locally. The
process then continues as usual.
• The ACX Series router connects to the Junos Space Platform, which applies a production configuration template,
upgrades the Junos OS version, and so on.

Slide 33
Zero Touch Deployment:

Zero Touch Deployment: Pull Method Overview
The Pull method of deploying ACX Series routers does not involve any network management solution or software to manage
ACX Series routers. Most of the intelligence to upgrade the ACX Series router configuration and Junos OS image is placed on
the ACX Series router itself, with support being provided by the configuration server.
The Pull method involves the ACX Series router and a centralized configuration server:
• The ACX Series router uses information obtained during the initial auto-installation process to connect to the
configuration server;
• The configuration server has DHCP, TFTP, and FTP services enabled. It also stores Junos OS software images,
configuration files, and scripts that automate the configuration process;
• A basic configuration is loaded onto the ACX Series router from the configuration server; and
• A series of scripts enable the remaining steps of the ZTD process, such as applying a production configuration to the ACX
Series router, upgrading its Junos OS version, and so on.

ACX5000 Applications:
Metro-E Aggregation
Residential Business
ACX5000 Applications: Metro-E Aggregation
The ACX5000 line of routers is perfect for the access and aggregation segments and complements the Juniper provider
edge solution (MX Series). A generic network diagram is presented on this slide. On the following slides we will describe
some possible applications.

Slide 35
ACX5000 Applications: MSO

Metro-E Aggregation (No residential access)

E-OAM, E-LINE/E-LAN (Ethernet and MPLS)
High capacity, IP VPN/IP support Residential Business
ACX5000 Applications: Metro-E Aggregation (Business)
The ACX5000 line of routers can be used in the aggregation layer. The solution can be Layer 2 or IP/MPLS based,
depending on service provider preference. If an ACX5000 router is used in an IP/MPLS solution, it provides all Metro
Ethernet Forum (MEF) service with Ethernet-OAM (E-OAM), and IP VPN, and has the logical scale required for this type of
application—such as, 288,000 MAC address, 128,000 forwarding information base (FIB) prefixes, 12,000 transit label-
switched paths (LSPs), scalable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), and so on. The ACX5000 line enables service
providers to deploy a high-capacity aggregation metro Ethernet solution all the way to the customer edge.

High Capacity CLE/CPE – EAD Device

E-OAM, E-LINE/E-LAN (Ethernet and MPLS)
High Capacity, IP VPN/IP Support
ACX5000 Applications: Metro-E Aggregation (Business)
In this role, the ACX5000 router acts like a high-capacity Ethernet aggregation device (EAD) device, ideal for servicing large
buildings or business areas. It enables service providers to offer 1-Gigabit Ethernet service and capture new customer
opportunities as demand for 10-Gigabit Ethernet service takes off.
If local rings are used for creation of service coverage, the 40-Gigabit Ethernet option can be considered as a very handy
option that provides optimal usage of the local dark fiber. An ACX5000 router can cover all essential functionality needed for
this position in the network, such as the following:
• MEF service;
• IP VPN service;
• E-OAM;
• RFC 2544 reflection that enables issuing of service certificates, option to create simplified deployments by using
G.8032 in addition to deployments of IP/MPLS in the last mile.

ACX5000 Applications: Metro-E Aggregation (Residential)
Residential services, such as triple-play, in addition to MEF and IP VPN service, will most likely require a flexible and scalable
multicast solution. The ACX5000 line of routers provides deployment options for Layer 3 as well as Layer 2 multicast over a
bridged or VPLS network. This gives service providers the tools to deploy optimal network technology, depending on
circumstances, in addition to enabling service providers to effortlessly migrate the access network from 1-Gigabit Ethernet
to 10-Gigabit Ethernet UNIs.

Junos Space
 Network management platform

 Available in two form-factors (physical and virtual)
 Create a fabric to provide scalability and availability
JA2500
 32 GB memory
 6x 1 TB HDD  Same software and functionality
 2U rack-mountable chassis  VMware ESX, VMWare ESXi, or
KVM server
Junos Space
Junos Space is Juniper’s network management platform. The Junos Space Network Management Platform is available in
two form-factors to offer a range of deployment options to suit the needs of any organization—there is a hardware appliance
and a virtual appliance available. The JA2500 hardware appliance is purpose-built to host the Junos Space Network
Management Platform and is fine-tuned to ensure high availability and high performance of Junos Space applications. The
hardware appliance version of Junos Space does not require hardware and operating system configuration expertise to
deploy the appliance, and initial configuration and deployment is made quite easy by providing a simple, menu-driven
console interface. Another advantage of deploying the Junos Space hardware appliance is that it simplifies ordering,
maintenance, and support of your network by making Juniper Networks the single destination for all your hardware and
software requirements for Junos Space, as well as your other networking devices. Multiple Junos Space appliances can be
clustered together to form a single management fabric.
A Junos Space Virtual Appliance includes the same software and all the functionality available in a Junos Space physical
appliance. However, you must deploy the virtual appliance on a VMware ESX, VMWare ESXi, or KVM server, which provides a
CPU, hard disk, RAM, and a network controller, but requires installation of an operating system and applications to become
fully functional.
Just as you can install additional physical appliances to create a fabric to provide scalability and availability, you can deploy
multiple virtual appliances to create a fabric that provides the same scalability and high availability as a fabric of physical
appliances. A Junos Space fabric can contain only physical appliances (the JA2500), only virtual appliances, or a
combination of both physical and virtual appliances.

Slide 44
Connectivity Services Director
 A Junos Space application

 Enables users to automate the end-to-end
provisioning of new services
 Automated and streamlined approach
 A complete network management solution
Resource Service Design Service Validation and

Management Pre-defined and Provisioning Troubleshooting
Device and custom templates Rapid provisioning Network performance
services inventory for services of services and SLA assurance
Connectivity Services Director
While the Junos Space Network Management Platform offers broad fault, configuration, and device provisioning capabilities
with a task-specific user interface, Junos Space Management applications extend the breadth of the platform to optimize
network management for various domains. Connectivity Services Director is one of the many applications available to run on
Junos Space.
The Connectivity Services Director application enables users to automate the end-to-end provisioning of new services across
thousands of devices with a simple point-and-click GUI, and also enables users to optimize management for specific
domains such as core, edge, access and aggregation, data center, WAN, and campus and branch.
Connectivity Services Director facilitates an automated and streamlined approach to the service design and provisioning
process and helps reduce fallout from misconfigured customer services, thereby increasing customer satisfaction and
retention. Besides automating key provisioning tasks, Connectivity Services Director also provides a complete network
management solution, including automated service discovery, MPLS resource management, point-and-click service
provisioning, validation, and troubleshooting for legacy ATM/TDM, MPLS and Carrier Ethernet environments.
The Junos Space Connectivity Services Director essentially manages the lifecycle of Layer 2 and Layer 3 services comprised
of resource pool management, service design and provisioning, troubleshooting and performance monitoring, and service
decommissioning.

Slide 45
Cross Provisioning Platform
 A Junos Space application

 Provides a “one-size-fits-all” solution
 Quickly design and deploy new services in a
multivendor network with minimal financial overhead
Benefits:
• Design and manage services spread across Juniper and other
third-party vendor devices through a single, unified
management console
• Rapidly develop and deploy new revenue-generating services
• Lower the OpEx required to introduce new services or make
changes to existing services
Cross Provisioning Platform
Another Junos Space application, Cross Provisioning Platform provides a “one-size-fits-all” solution that enables service
providers to quickly design and deploy new services in a multivendor network with minimal financial overhead.
Service providers who need to provision services in a multivendor environment face multiple challenges. Cross Provisioning
Platform uses a script-based approach to service provisioning which facilitates flexible service creation and design without
requiring a complicated software development cycle. Complex configurations such as quality of service (QoS), firewall
policies, and business logic can be accommodated easily through the use of predefined scripts.
Junos Space Cross Provisioning Platform offers the following benefits to service providers:
• Design and manage services spread across Juniper and other third-party vendor devices through a single, unified
management console;
• Rapidly develop and deploy new revenue-generating services; and
• Lower the OpEx required to introduce new services or make changes to existing services.
