Juniper routers are not TDM switches. A Juniper router can cross connect
between interfaces, but does so on a *packet* basis. We use it (for
various reasons) to cross connect between Ethernet VLANs, e.g.

interfaces {
    ge-3/0/0 {
        stacked-vlan-tagging;
        encapsulation flexible-ethernet-services;
        unit 1129 {
            vlan-tags outer 1579 inner 2650;
            encapsulation vlan-ccc;
        }
        unit 1130 {
            vlan-tags outer 1058 inner 2650;
            encapsulation vlan-ccc;
        }
    }
}

protocols {
    connections {
        interface-switch VC36129700 {
            interface ge-3/0/0.1129;
            interface ge-3/0/0.1130;
        }
    }
}
