MX-SPC3 Services Card Overview and Support on MX240, MX480, and MX960 Routers

The MX-SPC3 Services Card is a Services Processing Card (SPC) that provides additional processing power to run Next Gen Services. The MX-SPC3 contains two Services Processing Units (SPUs) with 128 GB of memory per SPU. Line cards such as DPCs, MPCs, and MICs, intelligently distribute all traffic traversing the router to the SPUs to have services processing applied to it.Next Gen Services provide the best of both routing and security features on MX Series routers MX240, MX480, and MX960. All Next Gen Services are provided by the MX-SPC3 Services Card. Next Gen Services provide capabilities for manipulating traffic before it’s delivered to its destination.

Note:

The only services card that supports Next Gen Services is the MX-SPC3.

Table 1 shows the SPC and its first supported Junos OS release on MX240, MX480, and MX960, routers.
