Disabling Packet-Ordering Mode on SRX5000 Line Devices
The packet-ordering functionality using the Packet Ordering Engine is supported on SRX5400, SRX5800 and SRX5600 devices with next-generation SPCs. (Platform support depends on the Junos OS release in your installation.) By default, packet-ordering mode using the Packet Ordering Engine is enabled. To disable the packet-ordering functionality using the Packet Ordering Engine, you must update the packet-ordering mode on the device.
The following packet ordering modes are supported:
