Difference between Max Total CPU and Max Kernel CPU

[Ankur_Datta]

Hi All,

I was going through CPSizeme Report and found there are statistics of Max CPU and Max kernel CPU.

Kindly please let me know the difference between these two.

Thanks.

CPU can be utilized in one of two ways:

• By kernel-level processes (packet forwarding, some parts of the firewall kernel)
• By user-level processes (other firewall processes)

Max CPU covers both types of CPU usage.
