The XStream custom silicon is already allowing fast-path, approved packets to whizz through the Sophos firewall at blistering speeds, but it\u2019s capable of more.<\/p>\n<p>SFOS v19 will port the decryption of IPSec traffic over to the XStream chip. This will unleash a double performance benefit: Firstly an improvement in IPSec throughput but also freeing resources on the main processor for other arduous tasks, in particular TLS and deep packet inspection.<\/p>\n<p>One of the highlight features of Sophos Firewall OS v19, however, is the new Xstream SD-WAN capabilities that provide automatic ISP link\u00a0monitoring and routing based on key performance metrics like latency, jitter or packet loss.<\/p>\n<p>Customers can easily setup SD-WAN link routing strategies based on first-available, best quality (where the firewall selects the best link based on latency, jitter or packet loss) or they can use a custom defined SLA profile that provides very granular controls over what criteria to use when selecting a WAN link. This comes alongside improvements to the UI concerning SD-WAN configuration and utilisation, dedicated SD-WAN logging and new SD-WAN reports.<\/p>\n<p>Keep an eye out for the EAP \u2013 we\u2019d love your feedback!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re reading this, you\u2019re in for a treat!
