Description
The Juniper PB-TUNNEL-1 is a Physical Interface Card (PIC) designed for use in Juniper Networks M-series and T-series routers, delivering high-performance tunneling capabilities for enterprise and service provider networks. Built for scalability and efficiency, this PIC supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 tunneling technologies, including GRE, IP-IP, and MPLS, making it ideal for multi-protocol environments. Its compact, modular design allows for easy integration into existing chassis-based systems, helping to extend the functionality of your current infrastructure without the need for a full hardware upgrade. The unit is hot-swappable, reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance.
Technically, the PB-TUNNEL-1 operates with a 1 Gbps throughput capacity and is engineered to handle high-density traffic with minimal latency. It features hardware-assisted packet processing to optimize tunnel encapsulation and decapsulation, ensuring reliable performance under load. The PIC is compatible with Junos OS, allowing for seamless configuration and management through CLI or network management platforms. When purchasing used, buyers should verify the condition of the connector pins and ensure firmware compatibility with their existing Juniper chassis model.
