Explanation:
The primary functions of the forwarding plane are to forward packets and to implement advanced services.
In many platforms running the Junos OS, the PFE uses application-specific integrated circuits
(ASICs) for increased performance. Because this architecture separates control operations—such as protocol updates and
system management—from forwarding operations, platforms running the Junos OS can deliver superior performance and highly
reliable deterministic operation.
