Why each option
The Medium Path is a traffic processing path that exists only when CoreXL is enabled, allowing CoreXL Firewall Worker instances to handle connections that SecureXL cannot fully accelerate.
The Slow Path handles traffic requiring full software inspection through all security blades and exists independently of whether CoreXL is enabled.
The Firewall Path is a generic term for standard firewall inspection and is present regardless of CoreXL being enabled or disabled.
The Medium Path is introduced specifically by CoreXL and represents traffic that SecureXL's SND (Secure Network Distributor) cannot place on the fully accelerated path but distributes to parallel CoreXL Firewall Worker processes for inspection. Without CoreXL active, this intermediate processing path does not exist in the traffic flow architecture.
The Accelerated Path is provided by SecureXL, not CoreXL, and offloads fully matched connections to acceleration templates without CoreXL being a prerequisite.
