MX240 AS MLC Function
The AS MLC provides modular processing and modular storage. Installed on the AS MLC,
the Junos Content Encore system operates as a caching application, in either HTTP
reverse proxy mode or HTTP transparent proxy mode, to manage client requests for
content and the distribution of the content to clients from origin servers. In the future,
AS MLC will run other Juniper Networks router services and applications as well as serve
as a virtualized platform for third-party applications. AS MLC provides Ethernet switching
and high-speed fabric interface to MX routers. Graceful Routing Engine switchover is also
supported on the AS MLC.
Integrated with application forwarding on MX Series routers, the AS MLC provides
increased service flexibility with reduced power and space requirements for the network
infrastructure.
AS MLC Components
Each AS MLC consists of the following components:
•
AS MLC Modular Carrier Card (AS MCC), which fits horizontally in front of the MX240
router, includes two slots for the Application Services Modular Storage Card (AS MSC)
and Application Services Modular Processing Card (AS MXC)
•
AS MXC with 64 GB RAM for processing
•
AS MSC with 400 GB NAND Flash capacity for modular storage
NOTE: The AS MCC, AS MXC, and AS MSC are hot-removable and
hot-insertable
