Multi-Queue

By default, each network interface has one traffic queue handled by one CPU.

You cannot use more CPU cores for acceleration than the number of interfaces handling traffic.

Multi-Queue An acceleration feature on Security Gateway that configures more than one traffic queue for each network interface. Multi-Queue assigns more than one receive packet queue (RX Queue) and more than one transmit packet queue (TX Queue) to an interface. Multi-Queue is applicable only if SecureXL is enabled (this is the default). Acronym: MQ. configures more than one traffic queue for each network interface.

For each interface, more than one CPU core is used for acceleration.

Note - Multi-Queue is applicable only if SecureXL Check Point product on a Security Gateway that accelerates IPv4 and IPv6 traffic that passes through a Security Gateway. is enabled (this is the default).

Overview:

• Multi-Queue is enabled by default on all interfaces that use the supported drivers.

• The number of traffic queues on each supported interface is determined automatically, based on:

  • The number of available CPU cores that run 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. SND Instances.

  • The limitations of the interfaces and its driver.

• Traffic queues are automatically affined to the CPU cores that runs CoreXL SND Instances.

• Changes in Multi-Queue configuration do not require a reboot.

• You configure Multi-Queue on the command line - either in Gaia Clish The name of the default command line shell in Check Point Gaia operating system. This is a restricted shell (role-based administration controls the number of commands available in the shell)., or in the Expert mode.
