The routing matrix with a Juniper TX Matrix router is the first multichassis product from Juniper Networks. The T640 and T320 routers were the first core routers that provided scalable bandwidth and intelligent networking features with a capacity of 80 to 640 gigabits per second (Gbps) of throughput. A key part of the T Series design was the ability to scale individual T640 routers to 2.5 terabits of bandwidth by combining them in a multichassis configuration. Such scalability is now available with the routing matrix.
The physical system of a routing matrix consists of one TX Matrix router and from one to four T640 routers. A key element of the routing matrix design is the ability to migrate existing T640 routers and connect them with the TX Matrix router through fiber-optic cables and Switch Interface Boards (SIBs).
