Protocols that can be offloaded by NP7 processors

Protocols that can be offloaded by NP7 processors

The following table lists the internet traffic protocols that can be offloaded by NP7 processors:

Protocol number

Keyword

Protocol

1 ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol
4 IP-in-IP IPv4 IP in IP encapsulation*
6 TCP Transmission Control Protocol
17 UDP User Datagram Protocol
27 RDP Reliable Data Protocol
41 IPv6 IPv6 Encapsulation*
47 GRE Generic Routing Encapsulation* (Offloading GRE over a loopback interface is not supported and offloaded traffic is blocked. In the firewall policy, disable auto-asic-offload to allow traffic to flow.)
50 ESP Encapsulating Security Payload*

97

ETHERIP or EoIP

Ethernet-within-IP Encapsulation, also called Ethernet over IP.

132 SCTP Stream Control Transmission Protocol

* Tunneling protocols are offloaded in passthrough mode.
