Description
- Enhanced FPC2 (PIC Concentrator V2, Enhanced) for Juniper T320 routers.
- The enhanced V2 module requires JunOS 6.3 or above.
- Supports 2 PIC modules with throughput of 8 GBPS
The FPC is a module inserted in the T320 Router to house the PICs that connect the T320 Core Router to network media. The main function of an FPC is to connect the PICs installed in it to the other router components. The Packet Forwarding Engine receives incoming packets from the PICs installed on the FPC and forwards them through the switch planes to the appropriate destination port. In a maximum configuration with eight FPC3s installed, the Packet Forwarding Engines can forward up to 385 million packets per second (Mpps) for all packet sizes. The maximum aggregate throughput rate for the router is 160 Gbps (full duplex). FPCs are hot-removable and hot-insertable. When you remove or install an FPC, packet forwarding is not interrupted. When you install an FPC into a functioning router, the Routing Engine downloads the FPC software, the FPC runs its diagnostics, and the PICs housed on the FPC are enabled. Forwarding continues uninterrupted during this process. This "Enhanced" version is supported in JunOS 6.3 and above.
