The Junos OS installs all active routes from the routing table into the forwarding table. The active routes are routes that are used to forward packets to their destinations. The Junos operating system kernel maintains a master copy of the forwarding table. It copies the forwarding table to the Packet Forwarding Engine, which is the component responsible for forwarding packets.
