Specifications

• Port Configuration: Two 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
• Throughput: Provides up to 240 Gbps of line-rate throughput.
• Quality of Service (QoS): Supports hierarchical QoS (HQoS), which is ideal for advanced traffic management and prioritization.
• Queue Support: Can handle up to 1 million queues per slot.
• MTU Support: Supports a maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of 9,192 bytes for host-bound packets and up to 9,500 bytes in later Junos OS releases.
• Compatibility: Works with enhanced Switch Control Boards (MX-SCBE and SCBE2) and is compatible with MX240, MX480, MX960, MX2010, and MX2020 routers.
• Interface Types:
• Supports 100GbE and 10GbE interfaces.
• Up to 4 ports of 100GbE.
• Up to 40 ports of 10GbE.
• Line Rate:
• Full line-rate performance for both 100GbE and 10GbE ports.
• Forwarding Capacity:
• The forwarding capacity for the MPC5EQ is typically around 240 Gbps full-duplex per slot.
• MAC Addresses:
• Supports a large number of MAC addresses, which is essential for large-scale Layer 2 switching environments.
• IPv4/IPv6 Route Support:
• Full support for IPv4 and IPv6 routing, ensuring compatibility with modern network infrastructures.
• Packet Forwarding Engines (PFE):
• Equipped with Packet Forwarding Engines to handle large amounts of traffic efficiently.
• Hierarchical Queuing and Scheduling:
• Supports HQoS (Hierarchical Quality of Service) for traffic prioritization, providing service differentiation across multiple levels of the network.
• Layer 2 and Layer 3 Support:
• Provides both Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing capabilities, allowing flexibility in network design and operations.
