Question
Which IP packets can be hardware-accelerated by a NP6 processor? (Choose two.)
Options
- AFragmented packet.
- BMulticast packet.
- CSCTP packet.
- DGRE packet.
Explanation
This question identifies specific IP packet types that can be hardware-accelerated by a FortiGate NP6 processor.
Common mistakes.
- A. Fragmented IP packets typically require reassembly by the main CPU for proper inspection and policy application, thus preventing hardware acceleration by NP6 processors.
- D. Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) packets, especially when combined with other features or requiring inspection, are generally not hardware-accelerated by NP6 processors and are processed by the main CPU.
