Siva, The MX80 is a router. It's packet-based. It does however have a services card that allows for some flow-based use cases.
On a side note, the J Series is both a flow and packet-based device. If you want packet-based functionality, disable the security with "delete security; set security forwarding-options family mpls mode packet-based" On the flipside the J Series has a software forwarding plane while the MX has a hardware forwarding plane. Thank you, ....................................

Hi experts, Is MX80 a flow based or packet based router? With asymmetric routing, will the TCP session ever get established. Suppose if SYN packet goes out through one interface and the SYN+ACK is received on another interface, will this router drop this SYN+ACK as this behavior is seen in J series routers.
