MX960 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,
the AS MLC will run other Juniper Networks router services and applications, and serve
as a virtualized platform for third-party applications. The 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.
The AS MLC Modular Carrier Card (AS MCC), the carrier card of the AS MLC, fits vertically
in the front of the MX960 router (see Figure 27 on page 71).
