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 Performance-enhancing technology on Check Point Firewall 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 Performance-enhancing technology on a Check Point Firewall that accelerates IPv4 and IPv6 traffic that passes through the Check Point Firewall. 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 Check Point Firewalls 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 require a reboot.

• You configure Multi-Queue on the command line - 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). (Gaia gClish The name of the global command line shell in Check Point Gaia operating system for Security Appliances connected to Check Point Maestro Orchestrators and for Security Gateway Modules on Scalable Chassis. Commands you run in this shell apply to all Security Gateway Module / Security Appliances in the Security Group. on Scalable Platforms), or in the Expert mode.
