Explanation
VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) is an overlay network technology that extends Layer 2 networks over Layer 3 infrastructure. When VXLAN is used extensively on FortiGate, hardware acceleration is crucial for maintaining performance. NP7 (Network Processor 7) is Fortinet's latest network processor designed to accelerate high- performance networking features, including: - VXLAN encapsulation/decapsulation - IPsec VPN offloading - Firewall policy enforcement - Advanced threat protection at wire speed NP7 significantly reduces latency and improves throughput when handling VXLAN traffic, making it the best choice for large-scale VXLAN deployments.
