CoreXL

CoreXL Performance-enhancing technology for Security Gateways on multi-core processing platforms. Multiple Check Point Firewall instances are running in parallel on multiple CPU cores. is a performance-enhancing technology for Security Gateways on multi-core platforms.

CoreXL makes it possible for the CPU cores to perform multiple tasks concurrently. This enhances the Security Gateway Dedicated Check Point server that runs Check Point software to inspect traffic and enforce Security Policies for connected network resources. performance.

CoreXL provides almost linear scalability of performance, according to the number of processing cores on a single machine. The increase in performance does not require changes to management or to network topology.

On a Security Gateway with CoreXL enabled, the Firewall kernel is replicated multiple times.

Each replicated copy of the Firewall kernel, or CoreXL Firewall instance, runs on one CPU core.

These CoreXL Firewall instances handle traffic concurrently, and each CoreXL Firewall instance is a complete and independent Firewall inspection kernel. When CoreXL is enabled, all the Firewall kernel instances in the Security Gateway process traffic through the same interfaces and apply the same security policy Collection of rules that control network traffic and enforce organization guidelines for data protection and access to resources with packet inspection..

CoreXL Firewall instances work with SecureXL Check Point product on a Security Gateway that accelerates IPv4 and IPv6 traffic that passes through a Security Gateway. instances.
