Juniper Cloud-Native Router Description
The Cloud-Native Router makes full use of container economics and operational efficiency, giving service providers the flexibility to deploy 5G. The Juniper's highly performant, software-based router combines Juniper’s proven routing technology, Junos OS containerized routing protocol, daemon (cRPD), Contrail vRouter DPK forwarding plane for x86 CPUs. It seamlessly integrates with the Kubernetes ContainerNet Interface (CNI). The router is a complement to Juniper's physical routers and offers advanced networking features for cloud environments that are limited in space, power, cooling, and power. The Junos OS routing technology is shared by hybrid physical and virtual networks, resulting in a single experience from end to end. The Cloud-Native Router plays a critical role in the 5G Distributed Radio Access Network, (D-RAN), and in 5G Core data centres hosted in hyper-scaler cloud environments.
