MX480/MX10003 Functions and Performance
This JVD successfully passes all validation test cases. Both scale and performance parameters are within the anticipated thresholds. The validated design topology generates a reasonable multi-vector scale of different features.
The MX480 and MX10003 routers running Junos OS Release 23.2R2 or later satisfy the requirements for delivering data center edge capabilities. Both platforms are purpose-built to perform data center edge functions. The MX204 router can also perform the remote WAN edge role.

Traffic convergence is an important consideration in any network design. This JVD validates traffic convergence using common failure scenarios like link or node failure in the MPLS transport and data center networks. The network design described in this document provides traffic restoration times less than 80ms.
| Convergence Scenarios | Time (ms) |
|---|---|
| EVPN-MPLS convergence with WAN edge to P1 link failure | ~71 |
| EVPN-MPLS convergence with P1 node failure | 44 |
| EVPN-MPLS convergence with P1 node to DC1 link failure | 14 |
| EVPN-MPLS convergence with DC1 node failure | 44 |
