Juniper Cloud-Native Router 24.2 Cover Page

INTRODUCTION

The Juniper Cloud-Native Router provides the service providers the flexibility to roll out the expansion requirements for 5G rollouts, reducing both the CapEx and OpEx. Juniper Cloud-Native Router (JCNR) is a containerized implementation of control and forwarding planes. The JCNR consists of modular components including a control plane (JCNR-Controller), forwarding plane (JCNR-vRouter), and JCNR-CNI. The control plane provides a Junos-based management framework, while the JCNR-vRouter, a DPDK-based or eBPF XDP-based forwarding plane, decouples forwarding from the Linux kernel, thus allowing faster forwarding and more scalability. JCNR-CNI provides the network interfaces in software that allow JCNR to network with other containers, VMs, and physical devices. Together, these elements provide flexibility, programmability, and scalability for the coming generations of 5G installations.
