Accelerated packet forwarding and policy enforcement

FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC Accelerated packet forwarding and policy enforcement
results in accelerated small packet performance required for voice, video, and
other multimedia streaming applications. The following traffic scenarios are
recommended for the accelerated interfaces:

• Small packet applications, such as voice over IP (VoIP).

The FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC accelerated interfaces provide wire speed
performance for small packet applications.

• Latency sensitive applications, such as multimedia.

The FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC accelerated interfaces add much less latency
than normal (non-accelerated) interfaces.
