The upside is that all other flows they didn't know they had so much problems with suddenly start to go smoothly all the time when these "elephant flows" no longer mess the Forti forwarding up. We've seen issues where the Forti always starts to drop packets when approaching 5-8 G on a separate flow, so the customers need to route those hosts around the firewall. They also will not tell you that some boxes (6300F for instance) are actually built with 6 "worker blades" and a specific flow can only use one blade. The big boxes need special FortiOS builds that are versions behind the smaller ones.

#Juniper srx software
Starting in 21.2 (I think), PM is activated by default on all policies and you can then turn it off instead.įorti has some odd features that might be good for some, but in general, the support and the software (and hardware) quality lacks in my experience, especially in the higher segments. PM is totally configurable and you enable it per policy. In SRX5800 with multiple SPC3's we recently saw roughly 1/3 decrease in SPC load when enabling PowerMode. It simply inspects the first packet(s) and then decides if the flow is offloadable. That is a way of offloading flows to the PFE so the SPC (firewall packet crunching CPU) doesn't have to handle all that traffic. I was afraid PowerMode would not be applicable to the smaller SRX units, but it appears, after searching in Juniper's Feature Explorer, that the hardware from SRX4100 can do that. The upside with SRX for you is that you know the OS and you may also find it easier to troubleshoot routing protocols if you have the same platform. There's a reason they're expensive :) The SRX will give you the same security features as Forti, also with the dramatic drop in performance if you enable more features, like threat protection, antivirus and so on (Palo syntax, but you get the idea).
