Packet Forwarding Engine
The Packet Forwarding Engine is a multicomponent system that uses application-specific 
integrated circuits (ASICs) to perform Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet switching, route lookups, 
and packet forwarding. The ASICs include the Distributed Buffer Manager ASIC, I/O Manager 
ASIC, Internet Processor or Internet Processor II ASIC, and various media-specific controllers.
The Packet Forwarding Engine has the following components:
„ Backplane—Forms the rear of the FPC card cage, distributes power from the power 
supplies, and transfers packets and signals between router components, which plug into 
it.
„ Physical Interface Cards (PICs)—Physically connect the router to network media such as 
OC-12 ATM, OC-12 and OC-48 SONET/SDH, Channelized OC-12, and Gigabit Ethernet. 
PICs are housed in FPCs.
„ Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs)—Process incoming and outgoing packets. From one to 
eight FPCs can plug into the backplane from the front of the chassis. Each FPC 
accommodates up to four Physical Interface Cards (PICs).
„ System Control Board (SCB)—Performs route lookup, filtering, and switching. The SCB 
installs into the backplane from the front of the chassis.
