As of the docs, it seems like the only advantage is reduced latency: http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos12.1/information-products/topic-collections/security/software-all/security/index.html > Can anyone comment on the expected (or observed) differences in > latency & jitter when using EZchip offload? Does it lead to > theoretically higher throughput (bytes or packets)? It should at least give lower latency because of less number of internal hops. But I really wonder how (if) it affects the new session setup rate and concurrent session scaling. I really doubt, a single EZchip is capable to handle states of millions of sessions, all of which can easily pass a single 10G interface (and, consequently, NPC).
To be honest, by now it looks like a feature for a particular customer. _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
