Hyper mode to increase packet processing rate

Enabling the hyper mode feature increases the rate at which a data packet is processed, which results in the optimization of the lifetime of a data packet. Optimization of the data packet lifetime enables better performance and throughput. When you enable the hyper mode feature, the following features are not supported: Creation of Virtual Chassis.

• Creation of Virtual Chassis.
• Interoperability with legacy DPCs, including MS-DPCs. The MPC in hyper mode accepts and transmits data packets only from other existing MPCs.
• Interoperability with non-Ethernet MICs and non-Ethernet Interfaces such as channelized interfaces, multilink interfaces, and SONET interfaces.
• Padding of Ethernet Frames with VLAN.
• Sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) redirect messages.
• Termination or tunneling of all subscriber-based services.

To configure the hyper mode feature, use the hyper-mode statement at the [edit forwarding-options] hierarchy level. To view the changed configuration, use the show forwarding-options hyper-mode command.
