Hash-based forwarding

Hash-based datapath packet forwarding is supported on the IOC3 to interconnect with all existing IOC and SPC cards for devices. The IOC3 XL chip uses a hash-based method to distribute ingress traffic to a pool of SPUs by default. Selection of hash keys depends on application protocols. On a high-end SRX Series device, a packet goes through a series of events involving different components from ingress to egress processing. With the datapath packet forwarding feature, you can obtain quick delivery of I/O traffic over the SRX5000 line of devices.
