Network processor offloading is supported on both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.
With this feature, when a network processor fails to identify a session for a packet, it sends the packet to a selected SPU instead of forwarding the packet to a central point. The network processor forwards packets to SPUs based on certain algorithms. This approach avoids overloading the central point. To enable network processor offloading, use the set security forwarding-process application-services session-distribution-mode hash-based command. You must reboot the device for the configuration to take effect.
