Configuring Hyper Mode on Enhanced MPCs to Speed Up Packet Processing
Starting with Junos OS Release 15.1, enhanced MPCs can be configured to support increased packet processing rates. Enhanced MPCs include these models: MPC3E, MPC4E, MPC5E, MPC6E,MPC7E-MRATE, MPC7E-10G, MX2K-MPC8E, and MX2K-MPC9E.
Starting with Junos OS Release 18.2R1, JNP10K-LC2101 MPC can be configured to support increased packet processing rates.A higher rate of processing of data packets results in the optimization of the lifetime of a data packet. Optimization of the data packet lifetime enables the network device (a router or a switch) to provide better performance and throughput.
To configure the device to support increased packet processing rates, you must configure the hyper mode feature. After configuring the hyper mode feature, you must reboot the device for the changes to take effect. If the hyper mode feature is not configured, the device processes data packets in normal mode.
You can enable the hyper mode feature only if the network-service
mode on the device is configured as either enhanced-ip
or enhanced-ethernet
.
