Hi! SRX is the 2rd pure-software forwarding equipment from Juniper(the 1st is J series routers), it just use multi-core CPU does all the forwarding and security things in software. But in recent releases(maybe from JUNOS 10.4) there is a new feature called "service-offload" that could use NPC in SRX3K/5K to do hardware acceleration for fast path, but with concurrent sessions limited as a trade-off. and Juniper may go with this direction with NG-IOC to get rid of this limitation presently.
