Packet flow: NP6 and NP6lite offloaded session

Packet flow: NP6 and NP6lite offloaded session

After the first packet, subsequent packets in an offloaded session skip routing, UTM/NGFW, and kernel processors and are just forwarded out the egress interface by the NP6 processor. As well, security measures such as DoS policies, ACL, and so on are accelerated by the NP6 processor.
