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.
