How do you understand these statements from the Introduction section of sk156672 - SecureXL Fast Accelerator (fw fast_accel) for R80.20 and above?
- Fast Accel enforces only rule base that does not require deep packet inspection (For example: Application Control, URL Filtering and content-awareness are not included).
For the other cases: Fast accel rules are prioritized over the access rule base.
Do you think that the writers of the SK meant that fast_accel makes the firewall to skip deep packet inspection listed (For example: Application Control, URL Filtering and content-awareness)?
What could they mean by "the other cases"?
I guess "Fast accel rules are prioritized over the access rule base." could mean that fast_accel overrides the deep packet inspection by skipping it.
Unfortunately I do not have a good experience with the "Give us feedback" function in the SK.
* Sometimes they give some additional information by email but they do not modify the SK.
* Once they even asked me what they should put into the article when I needed Check Point's opinion.
