Juniper Networks Core Router BU is a well-known vendor of Core Routers for IP backbone Service Providers. T-series routers provide stackable (TX), feature-rich and low-latency routing with advanced traffic engineering capabilities for SP core. Whereas, PTX-series of routers present low power-consumption, very high throughput, and space efficient routers with advanced IP/MPLS feature-set. Both router families run FreeBSD based JunOS NOS. Juniper routers are deployed at high stakes, high bandwidth, and performance critical places like Nasdaq, London Olympics, and NEP CDN. Stacking offers value-protection by allowing same family routers to be inter-connected to act as single large router with much higher throughput & port density, while keeping management overhead to a minimum.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and unit testing of IS-IS protocol based multi-chassis control plane detection, loop-free topology creation & monitoring, and role assignment feature on proposed Juniper PTX Router.
- Implement framework for fault detection, isolation, attempted recovery, and reporting of high-speed SERDES based ASIC interconnect quality in Juniper T4000 line cards to prevent silent traffic blackholing.
