Protocols that can be offloaded by NP7 processors

Protocols that can be offloaded by NP7 processors

The following table is a quick reference to the 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* (Not supported by NP7Lite processors)
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.
