Content processors (CP10, CP9, CP9XLite, CP9Lite)

Content Processors (CPs) accelerate many common resource intensive security related processes. CPs work at the system level with tasks being offloaded to them as determined by the main CPU. Current FortiGate units include CP10, CP9, CP9Lite, and CP9XLite content processors.

Capabilities of the CPs vary by model. Older CP versions include the CP4, CP5, CP6, and CP8.
