SecureXL ou l'accélération CheckPoint :

L'accélération que propose CheckPoint s'appelle SecureXL, pour schématiser grossièrement son fonctionnement, le packet monte jusqu'à l'analyse des règles du firewall, si la connexion est accélérable, le firewall crée un "template de connexion" sur les packet similaire, aux prochaines connexions ces templates seront vérifier avant de passer (si nécessaire) dans le jeu de règle. L'explication par l'exemple : SecureXL_flow

Exemple :

  • une connexion de 10.0.0.1:2000 à 11.0.0.1:80 — établissement de la connexion puis sera accélérée.
  • une connexion de 10.0.0.1:2001 à 11.0.0.1:80 — totalement accéléré (includant l'établissement de la connexion).
  • une connexion de 10.0.0.1:8000 à 11.0.0.1:80 — totalement accéléré (includant l'établissement de la connexion).
    Les requêtes HTTP à destination d'un serveur seront accélérées depuis la même IP source.

L'état

1 $ fwaccel stat
2 Accelerator Status : off
3 Accelerator Features : Accounting, NAT, Cryptography, Routing,
4                        HasClock, Templates, VirtualDefrag, GenerateIcmp,
5                        IdleDetection, Sequencing, TcpStateDetect,
6                        AutoExpire, DelayedNotif, TcpStateDetectV2,
7                        McastRouting, WireMode, Streaming, MultiFW
8                        Cryptography Features Mask : not available

Dans ce cas, le SecureXL est désactivé, voici un exemple ou ce dernier est activé :

 1 $  fwaccel stat
 2 Accelerator Status : on
 3 Accept Templates   : disabled by Firewall
 4                      disabled from rule #22
 5 Drop Templates     : disabled
 6 NAT Templates      : disabled by Firewall
 7                      disabled from rule #22
 8 Accelerator Features : Accounting, NAT, Cryptography, Routing,
 9                        HasClock, Templates, Synchronous, IdleDetection,
10                        Sequencing, TcpStateDetect, AutoExpire,
11                        DelayedNotif, TcpStateDetectV2, CPLS, WireMode,
12                        DropTemplates, NatTemplates, Streaming
13 Cryptography Features : Tunnel, UDPEncapsulation, MD5, SHA1, NULL,
14                         3DES, DES, CAST, CAST-40, AES-128, AES-256,
15                         ESP, LinkSelection, NatTraversal

L'accèlération s'arrête des qu'il matche une règle qu'il n'est pas possible d'accéléré.
Il faut donc optimiser son jeu de règle en conséquence.
