Juniper MX Series interface options routers

The Juniper MX Series supports a variety of interface options, which you can roughly put into three categories.

Dense Port Concentrators (DPC/DPCE)
DPC cards provide multiple physical interfaces and Packet Forwarding Engines (PFE) on a single board that gets installed in a slot in the MX Series Routers. The ‘E’ in DPCE stands for enhanced.

Modular Port Concentrators (MPC)
MPCs are line modules for the Juniper MX Series that deliver the performance, services, and scalability that are critical to today’s advanced Ethernet services edge and broadband edge networks.
Most of all, MPCs are designed for flexibility. One MPC can fit two MIC cards to provide modular 1GbE, 10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE connections. The MPC houses the packet forwarding engines that deliver comprehensive Layer 3 routing (IPv4 and IPv6), MPLS, Layer 2 switching, inline services and advanced hierarchical quality of service (H-QoS).

Modular Interface Cards (MIC)
The MICs get installed into MPCs and provide the physical connections to various network media types. It is possible to install up to two MICs in each MPC. The MIC cards are hot-swappable.
MICs allow different physical interfaces to be supported on a single line card. You can install MICs of different media types on the MPC as long as the MPC supports those MICs. MIC cards receive incoming packets from the network and transmit outgoing packets to the network. During this process, each MIC performs framing and high-speed signalling for its media type. Before transmitting outgoing data packets through the MIC interfaces, the MPCs encapsulate the packets received.
