Routing Engine and Packet Forwarding Engine
A Services Router has two primary software processing components:
- Routing Engine—Creates and maintains the routing tables
that determine how packets are routed through the network.
- Packet Forwarding Engine—Processes packets; applies filters,
routing policies, and other features; and forwards packets to the next hop
along the route to their final destination.
For information about Routing Engine hardware, see J2300 Routing Engine or J4300 and J6300 Routing Engine.
