Product Overview
Juniper Networks CTP Series Circuit
to Packet Platforms provide the
advanced technology and features
required to reliably transport timedivision multiplexing and other
circuit-based applications across
next-generation IP/MPLS networks.
The CTP Series has the field-proven
flexibility, performance and reliability
required for circuit applications.
The CTP Series technology includes
many advanced clocking options and
per-circuit buffers to enable end-toend timing and the removal of jitter
to create a psuedowire across the
IP/MPLS network. The CTP Series
enables customers to connect digital
and analog voice applications easily
and reliably across the IP network
using circuit emulation over IP,
bringing them the advantages of
converged multiservice IP networking
without the complexities and cost
of upgrades required for VoIP. The
CTP Series bridges the legacy and
IP world and provides many unique
features that enable cost reduction
by eliminating point-to-point circuits
and convergence of all applications
onto one IP/MPLS network.
Product Description
With the ongoing deployment of IP networks, the efficiency and cost-savings gains of
IP are being realized for a variety of applications and functions. Largely left out of this
evolution have been the circuit-based applications such as time-division multiplexing
(TDM) leased line and voice private branch exchange (PBX) connections, serial encryption
connections, and analog and digital radio systems networking, because their synchronous
transport requirements are not addressed by a packet-based network. The Juniper
Networks® CTP Series Circuit to Packet Platforms enable customers to connect these
circuit-based applications easily and reliably across the IP network, bringing them the
advantages of converged multiservice IP networking.
The CTP Series includes the Juniper Networks CTP150, CTP2008, CTP2024, CTP2056
Circuit to Packet Platforms, and the Juniper Networks CTPView Network Management
System. The products are designed for government agencies, enterprises and service
providers running circuit-based applications and range in size, port capacity and
redundancy options.

Features
CTP150
The CTP150 Circuit to Packet Platform supports 4 to 8 interfaces of circuit emulation
traffic in a 1 RU rack mountable chassis. The 4-port interface options include T1/E1
and serial, and they interwork with any CTP Series product.
CTP2008
The CTP2008 Circuit to Packet Platform is a 1 RU rack mountable chassis that
supports up to 8 circuit emulation interfaces. The interface modules are software
configurable and are the same across the CTP2000 line.
CTP2024
The CTP2024 Circuit to Packet Platform is a 2 RU rack mountable chassis that
supports up to 24 circuit emulation interfaces. The chassis includes the option for
redundant power.
CTP2056
The CTP2056 Circuit to Packet Platform is a 4 RU rack mountable chassis that
supports up to 56 circuit emulation interfaces. The chassis includes the option for
redundant power.
CTPView
The CTPView Network Management System provides network operators with the
tools necessary to monitor network availability, report on IP networks performance,
provision circuits, and troubleshoot circuit issues through a web-based GUI.
