[j-nsp] Combining two MS-MIC in MX104 for CGNAT

Combining two MS-MIC in MX104 for CGNAT

 

I'm running an MX104 for CG-NAT with MS-MIC-16G and I read about Junos 14.2
allows two MS-MIC

https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/ms-mic-and-
mpc-overview.html 

 

I would like to confirm the hardware capability of my MX104 and getting a
second MS-MIC-16G installed to combine the two MS-MIC's to allow double the
NAT throughput capability which I understand is ~7.5 gbps per MS-MIC-16G....
so 7.5 * 2 = 15 gbps for two MS-MIC-16G

 

I also read about AMS Interface - Aggregated Multiservice interface.  I'm
wondering if this is a way to accomplish this using a group of MS interfaces
on two seperate MS-MICs and present them to JUNOS as one AMS interface thus
take advantage of the two MS-MIC resources.
