Accelerated packet forwarding and policy enforcement
FortiGate-5005FA2 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-5005FA2 accelerated interfaces provide wire speed
performance for small packet applications.
• Latency sensitive applications, such as multimedia.
The FortiGate-5005FA2 accelerated interfaces add much less latency than
normal (non-accelerated) interfaces.
• Session Oriented Traffic with long session lifetime, such as FTP sessions.
Packet size does not affect performance for traffic with long session lifetime.
For long sessions, processing that would otherwise be handled by the
FortiGate-5005FA2 CPUs is off-loaded to the acceleration module.
IPM Blue The FortiGate-5005FA2 is ready to be hot-swapped
(removed from the chassis). If the IPM light is blue and no
other LEDs are lit the FortiGate-5005FA2 board has lost
