The MX240 (Codename: Hermes) is the third member of the MX-Series family, and is designed as a competitor to the Cisco 6506/7606 and Alcatel 7750 SR7 routers.
The MX240 has 4 vertical front-end slots, one (1) of which is reserved for switch control board (with onboard RE-1300 or RE-2000 routing engine), and three (3) of which are available for physical interfaces or second SCB (for redundancy; with onboard RE). The MX240 is 5RU high, and under 800mm deep, with side-to-side airflow. The MX series eliminates the concept of FPC+PIC, and uses new full-height cards which combine FPC+PIC functionality (including Tunnel PIC), known as DPCs (Dense Port Concentrators).
The MX240 is planned to ship in February 2008, with JUNOS 9.0R1.
