Explanation

NTurbo (Network Turbo) is a FortiGate acceleration feature specific to flow-based inspection mode. It works by establishing a dedicated fast-path data channel that redirects traffic between the network processor (NP chip) and the IPS/antivirus engine, bypassing the slower CPU-based path. This allows antivirus scanning in flow-based mode to benefit from hardware-level acceleration without requiring a full proxy buffer of the file. NTurbo does not apply to proxy-based inspection (which uses the content processor differently) and does not create two separate inspection sessions.
