Service Delivery Gateway
Innovative router-integrated services that increase operational efficiency and drive new revenue streams for both service providers and enterprises
In order to achieve their revenue goals, network operators are under intense pressure to offer compelling new services and to streamline their infrastructure and operations environments. Unfortunately, traditional service delivery requires a complex combination of physically and logically independent routers and service-specific appliances. In this model, new service introductions mean new vendors, equipment and operational processes in a complex, time consuming and expensive process that delays time to revenue, increases operational risk and cost, and slows the pace of service innovation.
Juniper Networks Service Delivery Gateway, or SDG, is designed to help wireline, mobile and cable operators network overcome these challenges by tightly integrating service enabling applications with the Junos Operating System and MX 3D Series Universal Edge Routers. Hosting applications directly on the MX Series eliminates service specific appliances and their related inefficiencies and greatly reduces design and testing complexity.

The SDG for Wireline Service Providers
Wireline network operators often deploy multiple service specific appliances to support a variety of services at the broadband edge, including Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN), firewall, intrusion prevention services, load balancing, MPLS VPNs, switching and routing.
The Service Delivery Gateway consolidates these services on the MX Series Universal Edge Router, and by chaining multiple services together and provisioning them in the SDG eliminates costs associated with space, power and cooling as well as the layers of management required to control the appliances and services.
The SDG can be implemented to provide service aggregation and treatment to Broadband Network Gateways; alternatively, if when MX Series routers are deployed as BNGs, the SDG can be implemented on the same router via a simple software upgrade, which further reduces service risk, cost, and time to market.
The SDG for Mobile Network Operators
Today, mobile network operators deploy a variety of GI networks to support laptop dongles, feature phones, smartphones, and of course enterprises. The GI networks typically require services such as Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN), firewall, intrusion prevention service, load balancing, video optimization, MPLS VPNs, switching and routing; services that are usually performed by a long chain of service specific appliances.
The Service Delivery Gateway consolidates these services into a single gateway, allowing multiple services to be performed on a single pass through the MX Series Universal Edge Router. Chaining multiple services together and provisioning them in a single gateway reduces rack space, power and cooling demands, simplifies network management, and eliminates lots of cabling. Fewer appliances reduces the number of points of failure, which increases service resiliency.
The SDG for Cable Operators
Today, cable operators use DOCSIS to provision subscriber services, and transport these services over IP/MPLS infrastructure. While it is possible to apply service treatment at the flow level, it is much more difficult to apply granular, subscriber specific service treatment to flows traversing the IP/MPLS network.
To date, Cable operators have widely implemented the Service Delivery Gateway in Carrier Grade NAT and IPv6 co-existence applications, with integrated firewall services. Additionally, the SDG can provide ‘DOCSIS aware’ service treatment to traffic, opening the door to new services—and service revenue!.
The Application Delivery Controller delivers the intelligent traffic balancing today’s rich media services require. The ADC efficiently balances traffic across network resources to maximize service performance, ensure quality of experience, and improve service availability.
CRTP significantly increases network resource efficiency by reducing the overhead for voice packets and by reducing the latency related to serialization, enabling quality VoIP services over low speed links.
