An established connection is going to www.google.com. The Application Control Blade is inspecting the traffic. If SecureXL and CoreXL are both enabled, which path is handling the traffic?
C, based on this diagram in the link.
Content inspection needed? ---> YES ---> Medium Path
---> NO ---> Fast Path (Accelerated Path)
https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/General-Topics/SecureXL-and-Application-Control-Layer/td-p/89121#
In this scenario, since the Application Control Blade is inspecting the traffic, it cannot be handled by the Accelerated Path. It also cannot be handled by the Medium Path, as the Application Control Blade requires deeper inspection than what the Medium Path can provide. Therefore, the traffic must be handled by the Slow Path.
Key points to remember:
SecureXL and CoreXL can significantly improve firewall performance, but they cannot accelerate all types of traffic.
Traffic that requires deep inspection by security blades like Application Control, IPS, URL Filtering, etc., will typically be handled by the Slow Path.
Optimizing firewall performance involves a balance between acceleration and security requirements.
