Hi Checkmates,
We are planning to replaced our existing device (12000 SG) with new 26000 Security Gateway.
The existing CoreXL configuration of 26000SG is below
Total CORE with SMT enable: 72 Core
CoreXL_SND: 2
OTHER:8
CoreXL_FW: 61
FWD:1

![corexl2.png corexl2.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/8333iCDB43D00FA7828EF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999)
What is the role of "OTHER" which currently occupied 8 CORE and why its dynamically allocated ?
Our current running appliance 12000 series will going to replaced with 26000 and currently having below configuration :
Total Core: 4
SND Core: 1
CoreXL_FW: 3
BLADE Enabled: IPSec,IPS,AV,ABOT,App and URL(No Https Inspection) (will also enable TE blade after replaced)
Concurrent connection :25000 (In future it will be increase)
Interface: 5 x 1G including sync and Mgmt (It will replace with 3 x10G)

Kindly suggested as a best practice how much CPU core need to assign to SND core and CoreXL_FW on new 26000.
