Junos SDK

The Junos SDK enables developers to innovate on top of Junos and Juniper Networks platforms, so you can create, deploy, and validate innovative applications tailored to your needs.

The types of applications written by our development community include:

• Intelligent agents that monitor network traffic and routing performance for real-time deterministic traffic QoS.
• Signaling protocols development, fostering exploration of enhancements to network performance by improving upon existing industry-standard signaling protocols.
• Applications that ensure service-level agreements are met by monitoring and managing specific types of traffic on the network, delivering the best possible QoS for applications like voice and video.
• Deep packet inspection applications to monitor network traffic, looking for security threats or other issues and taking corrective action as needed.
• Encryption and tunneling applications to satisfy specific needs of subscribers or local regulations.

Our developer community consists of software developers within our partners' organisations, which include:

• Network service providers and enterprise IT organisations.
• OEM partners who have their own hardware and software platforms, but chose to integrate their applications onto our routers and the network itself.
• Independent software vendors (ISV partners) who don't have a routing or hardware platform of their own. These partners leverage the Junos SDK to reduce their time to market, avoiding the expense of developing their own custom router or network appliance, and proving how easily their solutions can be deployed on the network.
• Systems integrators who leverage the Junos SDK to combine solutions or customise specific aspects of network behavior for their end customers.
• Research and educational institutions that use the Junos SDK to educate their students about existing networking standards. The Junos SDK allows them to explore and innovate new ways to improve upon the existing protocols.
