No need to bring beer with you, Heiko, I can assure you there's plenty in Tel Aviv

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Ok, I leave the 2000l beer barrel at home.

Let's be serious:
I had a 5l bottle from Bavaria beer, but I think there are problems at the airport.

[PhoneBoy]

Let's do an event in Bavaria, then we don't need to bring the beer with us

[Vladimir]

Dameon Welch Abernathy‌ and Heiko Ankenbrand‌ in Bavaria will have to drink Danny's, Tim's an my share of the above mentioned beer and torment us with pictures of the process

We are having an event in Frankfurt on 20.11.2018, just saying

[Timothy_Hall]

Yep, looking forward to seeing Check Point's HQ for the first time and having some detailed discussions with R&D!  Thanks again to all who voted!

I'm going to see how we can improve the "for the first time having discussions with R&D" part... as in, more opportunities, not just once a year, with more members. Should be easier to do virtually thanks to CheckMates

[Moti]

Expecting to see you... Good times will be had 😉

Work hard play harder 🙂

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Hi Niran,

Unfortunately I could not answer the jive mail address directly. Therefore my questions here.

Session: Acceleration and Platforms
Speaker: Guy Avnet

My question:

1) I want to understand the SecureXL and CoreXL packet flow/ connection flow under R80.20.

2) I have tried to present the R80 gateway architecture as a flow chart. See

3)  What's new in PXL "passive streaming" and CPAS" active streaming"?

4) What was changed in R80.20 at CoreXL?

Regards,

Heiko

Man, you can ask this in person the next week 🙂 the post, as I understand it, to include other people's questions into the loop 🙂

[Petr_Hantak]
