Modifying the Express Path Configuration for Security Devices
Express path (formerly known as services offloading) is a mechanism for processing fast-path packets in the network processor instead of in the Services Processing Unit (SPU). Express path considerably reduces packet-processing latency by 500–600 percent.
You can use the Express Path section on the Modify Configuration page to view, create, edit, or delete Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) details on a device. You can toggle the status of one or more express paths. Express path is supported only on SRX5400, SRX5600, SRX5800, and rootLsys devices.
Refer to the Junos OS documentation (available at https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/release-independent/junos/information-products/pathway-pages/junos/product/) for a particular release and device. There you can find detailed information on the configuration parameters for that device.
