[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [FW1] FireWall-1 and Dual CPU machine
My understanding is that the main FW-1 driver is single-threaded, so it does not take advantage of additional CPUs. Other minor CP processes might be multi-threaded, but not enough to make a big difference. I've read that the latest SP3 can be configured to use additional processors as psuedo-VPN-accelerators. In other words, you can configure it to offload the encryption task to the additional processors. This can't be done if you have a real HW VPN accelerator card installed. Obviously, this only helpful if you are using VPN-1, but for VPN users it could be quite useful. Mark L.
