Hi Bemwa
Thank you for the answer, are these values in Full Duplex?
I remember before Juniper used to mentioned the values in Half duplex.
I assume line-rate simply means full duplex right?
Thank you again

Hello,
Your Understanding is right.
the link needed below
Licenses for PTX, MX, M and T Series
SCBE3 support up to 1.5T per line card on MX960/MX480/MX240
For MPC10E-10C-MRATE :
Throughput - 1Tbps
2 PFEs per line card
Each PFE throughput 500 Gbps
800Gbps throughput with standard midplane
1 Tbps throughput with enhanced midplane
Supports 10 ports per card 5 ports per PFE
For MPC10E-15C-MRATE
Throughput - 1.5 Tbps
3 PFEs per line card
Each PFE throughput 500 Gbps
800Gbps throughput with standard midplane
1.5 Tbps throughput with enhanced midplane
Supports 15 ports per card 5 ports per PFE

Hi
Another question is When we say a card supports line rate, I assume if card has 10x100GE it can provide 100GE on each port full duplex, So the Fabric capacity must be 10x100GE or 1Tbps.
Now if install 7x(10x100GE) I will have 1Tbps on each of 7 card" Full Duplex". Consider I use SCBE3-MX.
Anyway based on Datasheet MX960 supports 12Tbps
Is this correct?
Thank you

Hello Alireza,
From capacity( throughput) perspective from Native Routing perspective the below Upgrade licences example you have
- mx5-to-mx10-upgrade
- mx10-to-mx40-upgrade
- mx40-to-mx80-upgrade
Or what is mentioned by "Upgrade license" in the below link
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/release-independent/licensing/topics/topic-map/software_licensing_requirements.html
Otherwise, you should consider other licences for MX series as Software/feature licences
And for accuracy when calculating the BW required is better to be based on PFE Capacity: for example, MPC7E has 2 PFEs
MPC7E has 2 PFEs >> PFE Capacity = 240G >>MPC Capacity = 480G
- Bandwidth per PFE is dependent on three factors
- Memory bandwidth for packet reads and writes
- The bandwidth to/from the fabric
- The packets per second processing capacity
- Packet read/write memory hard enforces the maximum bandwidth
- Fabric capacity varies for the same PFE
- Number of PFEs per line card
- Speed and number of fabric links on the chassis
- Fabric chip
- For Example, MX960 has 6 planes located on 3 Fabric cards, 2 planes per fabric
- Fabric Midplane Bandwidth should be also taken into consideration
> In short: the usable bandwidth is MIN (Line card BW, Fabric Capacity, Midplane)
> No license needed in case of your example mentioned with different SCBx

Bemwa Beshay

Dear Brian
Referring to:
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/release-independent/licensing/topics/topic-map/software_licensing_requirements.html
They are indeed Capacity licenses for MX series but they are applicable for MX5 or MX104. All I can see is BNG Licenses which for using MX as BRAS and feature like NAT,PCRF and JFlow. Is this link reliable?
I also know that there is -IR and -R level for some cards(e.g. MPC7E Series) which provides access to Feature sets. (Also this is different with MPC10E and MPC15E)
What I mean about capacity is How much traffic the router can handle. For example MX960 is supposed to handle 480Gbps per slot using SCBE2 and 1.5Tbps(Full Duplex-Line rate) per slot Using SCBE3-MX-BB and MPC15. Are these numbers licensed-based or just we are entitled to have these number as soon as card is purchased on was installed in the Chassis?
Thank you
Alireza
Thank you

MX240/480/960 chassis have some licenses for capability and most are chassis based. There are also some RTU. cards you need to be aware of. Feature licenses are generally chassis based, so you are on the right track.

Hi
As far as I checked for MX960 LCs and Chassis there is no Capacity license beside BNG license. So I assume If we want to use this router we just need feature licenses per card or per Chassis.
Is this assumption correct?
