In CoreXL, the Firewall kernel is replicated multiple times. Each replicated copy or instance can perform the following:

Question

Options

• AThe Firewall kernel only touches the packet if the connection is accelerated
• BThe Firewall kernel is replicated only with new connections and deletes itself once the connection
• CThe Firewall can run the same policy on all cores
• DThe Firewall can run different policies per core

• A
  11% (2)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  79% (15)
• D
  5% (1)

Explanation

CoreXL is a performance-enhancing technology that enables the Security Gateway to utilize multiple CPU cores for processing traffic. CoreXL creates multiple instances of the Firewall kernel, each running on a separate CPU core. Each Firewall instance can handle traffic concurrently and independently, applying the same security policy to the packets that are assigned to it. CoreXL does not allow different policies per core, as this would create inconsistency and complexity in the security enforcement.
