[j-nsp] Getting Started: FPC Types and functionality differences

[michael.firth at bt.com]

Basically the 4 different types of FPC relate only to the maximum
capacity of the PICs they hold. Roughly this is:

FPC1 - 800Mbit/s
FPC2 - 2.5Gbit/s
FPC3 - 10Gbit/s
FPC4 - 40Gbit/s

Its not quite that simple because the actual performance is in layer 3
packets per second, so, for example, there is a 4 port FPC2 GigE PIC
which has a total of 4Gbit/s of network facing capacity.

For full details of the PICs that are available and their functionality,
have a look at the router PIC guides on the Juniper documentation area -
e.g.

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/hardware/m7i/m7i-pic/frameset.html

Or

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/hardware/m320/m320-pic/frameset.html

Hope this helps

Michael
