NP7 offloading multicast traffic denied by a firewall policy to reduce CPU usage
If you have enabled the following option, all multicast traffic denied by a firewall policy is added to the session table:
config system settings
set ses-denied-multicast-traffic enable
end
Enabling this option can affect CPU usage since the software needs to maintain more sessions in the session table. However, you can use the following command to offload denied multicast sessions to NP7 processors and reduce CPU usage:
config system npu
set mcast-denied-ses-offload enable
end
