What is MPC Juniper?
Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) provide packet forwarding services. A specialized fixed configuration MPC provides higher port density over MICs and combines packet forwarding and Ethernet interfaces onto a single line card.
What is FPC and PIC Juniper?
Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs) and Physical Interface Cards (PICs) function similarly to MICs and MPCs. PICs provide physical interfaces for the router and install into FPCs which provide packet forwarding services. Each FPC supports up to two Physical Interface Cards (PICs).
What is dense port concentrator?
A Dense Port Concentrator (DPC) is optimized for Ethernet density. The DPC assembly combines packet forwarding and Ethernet interfaces on a single board, with either two or four 10-Gbps Packet Forwarding Engines.
What is SCB Juniper?
At the heart of the MX Series 5G Universal Routing Platform is the Switch and Control Board (SCB). The SCB is a single-slot card and has a carrier for the routing engine in the front. It has three primary functions: switch data between the line cards, control the chassis, and house the routing engine.
What is DPC in Juniper?
A Dense Port Concentrator (DPC) provides multiple physical interfaces and Packet Forwarding Engines (PFEs) on a single board that installs into a slot within the MX240, MX480, and MX960 routers. The DPCs are optimized for Ethernet density and can support up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet or four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
What is PFE Juniper?
3.2. 2 Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) The PFE is the second basic component of the Juniper Networks router. It is the mass-transit system part of the router, so to speak. The job of the PFE is to move packets as quickly as possible back out of the router.
What is SPC Juniper?
Services Processing Cards (SPCs) provide the processing power to run integrated services such as firewall, IPsec and IDP (see Figure 1 on page 2). All traffic traversing the services gateway is passed to an SPC to have services processing applied to it.
What does a services processing card do?
Services Processing Cards (SPCs) are common form-factor module (CFM) cards that provide the processing power to run integrated services such as firewall, IPsec and IDP. All traffic traversing the services gateway is passed to an SPC to have service processing applied to it.

What’s the difference between FPC, MPC, PIC, mic?
FPC – Flexible PIC Concentrator, line card for M/T-series/MX240/480/960. Can have interface (sub)cards (also called PICs) inserted in it. MPC – Modular Port Concentrator, Trio chipset-based line card for MX240/480/960. Can have interface cards (also called MICs) inserted in it.
Where does the MPC go in a MX router?
Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) provide packet forwarding services. The MPCs are inserted into a slot in an MX240, MX480, MX960, MX2008, MX2010, MX2020, and MX10003 router. MPCs for MX5, MX10, MX40, MX80, and MX104 routers install directly into the router chassis.
