DPCs

Dense Port Concentrators (DPCs) provide multiple physical interfaces and Packet Forwarding Engines (PFE) on a single board that installs in a slot in the Juniper Networks MX Series Ethernet Services Routers. A DPC receives incoming packets from the network and sends outgoing packets to the network. The PFEs are equipped with purpose-built ASICs that perform packet processing and forwarding. Each PFE consists of one I-chip for Layer 3 processing and one Layer 2 network processor.

DPCE-X

Optimized for Ethernet switching, the DCPE-X extends JUNOS® Software to include traditional Layer 2 switching features, such as Spanning Tree, as well as more recent Ethernet standards developments including Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM). The MX Series combined with the DPCE-X Layer 2 switching cards provide a wide range of MPLS and Ethernet functionality for cost-effective Layer 2 aggregation.

DPCE-R

The DPCE-R provides the same Layer 2 switching and MPLS features offered on the DPCE-X card. In addition it provides greater routing scalability (1 million routes as opposed to the DPCE-X's 32 K) and packet processing capabilities.

MX-FPC

MX-FPC modules accept up to two PICs commonly used with the M Series and T Series routers. These modules allow the MX Series to support non-Ethernet interfaces, and the PIC portability among M Series, T Series, and MX Series routers provides common sparing and investment protection.

PIC types supported:

MX-FPC2 MX-FPC3
PB-1OC48-SON-B-SFP PC-1OC192-SON-VSR
PB-4OC3-1OC12-SON2-SFP PC-1OC192-SON-XFP
PB-4OC3-1OC12-SON-SFP PC-4OC48-SON-SFP
PB-4CHOC12-STM4-IQE-SFP  
PB-1CHOC48-STM16-IQE-SFP  

 

MS-DPC

The Multiservices DPC significantly expands the flexibility of the MX Series by enabling a broad range of services and applications in a single DPC form factor that can also serve as an integral part of a security solution. Session border control (SBC) functions, intrusion detection and protection (IDP), deep packet inspection (DPI), stateful firewall, network address translation (NAT), flow monitoring, and anomaly detection can be layered simultaneously on each MS-DPC, creating a rich, scalable services plane.
