16-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet MPC on MX Series Routers (16x10GE 3D MPC) Overview

IN Junos OS Release 10.1 and later, MX960, MX480, and MX240 routers support the 16-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet MPC (16x10GE 3D MPC) with model numbers MPC-3D, 16XGE-SFPP-R-B, and MPC-3D-16XGE-SFPP. This MPC provides scalability in bandwidth, subscribers, and services capabilities of the routers.

The following are some of the key features of the 16x10GE 3D MPC:

• Contains 16 built-in 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports in groups of four each. It does not contain separate slots for Modular Interface Cards (MICs).
• Supports up to 120 Gbps of full-duplex traffic.
• Supports LAN-PHY mode at 10.3125 Gbps.

  Note: The 16x10GE 3D MPC does not support WAN-PHY mode.

• Supports small form-factor pluggable transceivers of the SFP+ standard:
  • 10-GBASE-ER (model number: SFPP-10GE-ER)
  • 10-GBASE-LR (model number: SFPP-10GE-LR)
  • 10-GBASE-LRM (model number: SFPP-10GE-LRM)
  • 10-GBASE-SR (model number: SFPP-10GE-SR)
• Supports an effective line rate of twelve 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. If all sixteen 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports are used, the line card is oversubscribed in the ratio of 4:3.
• Supports intelligent oversubscription services.
• Supports one full-duplex 10-Gigabit Ethernet tunnel interface for each Packet Forwarding Engine. For more information on configuring a full-duplex 10-Gigabit tunnel interface for this MPC, see Configuring the Junos OS to Support Tunnel Interfaces on MX Series Ethernet Services Routers.

For information about the supported and unsupported Junos OS features for this MPC, see “Protocols and Applications Supported by MX Series MPCs” in the MX Series Line Card Guide.
