PTX5000

The PTX Series architecture cleanly separates control operations from packet-forwarding operations, eliminating processing and traffic bottlenecks while enabling the router to deliver extreme performance for both IP and MPLS.

The PTX5000 offers integrated 100GbE coherent dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) interfaces with optical transport network (OTN) framing at industry-leading densities. Fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security management (FCAPS) support for PTX5000 DWDM interfaces is provided by proNX Service Manager. These advanced capabilities lay the foundation for multilayer convergence in the architecture. The PTX5000 also delivers a full IP feature set, along with high-capacity express MPLS switching and multilayer packet transport manageability.
