Soft Generic Routing Encapsultion (GRE) Capaility (MX304)—The Soft GRE Capability enables advanced tunneling of Q-in-Q Ethernet frames across network infrastructure. This feature encapsulates and decapsulates Ethernet frames over GRE tunnels, preserving original Ethernet headers and MAC addresses for accurate traffic forwarding using VLAN tags.This feature supports dynamic tunnel creation, allowing automatic GRE tunnel formation without signaling protocols, thus simplifying setup and enhancing scalability.

Inline Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation (MX304, MX10004, MX10008)—Inline Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation (CGNAT) integrates Network Address Port Translation (NAPT) directly into the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE). Inline CGNAT can be implemented on an individual subscriber basis using RADIUS. This feature enables efficient address and port management through NAT44 (IPv4-to-IPv4) and NAT64 (IPv6-to-IPv4) translations, eliminating the need for external service cards located in the BNG chassis or an external SRX to perform the CGNAT function for BNG subscribers.

Support for MAP-T solution (MX204, MX240, MX480, MX960, MX2010, MX2020, MX10004, and MX10008 with MX-SPC3) —You can configure Mapping of Address and Port using Translation (MAP-T) as an inline service on MX Series routers with MPCs and MICs. MAP-T is a double stateless NAT64-based solution. The MAP-T solution uses IPv4-IPv6 translation as the form of IPv6 domain transport. The line cards on MX Series routers now support full reassembly of IPv4 and IPv6 packets for (MAP-T). We are introducing the following enhancements:
- Maximum supported fragments per flow for full reassembly is increased to 32.
- Maximum supported IP fragment size is increased to 9000 bytes.
- Maximum IP packet size that can be fully reassembled is increased to 9000 bytes.
