Accelerated packet forwarding and policy enforcement
FortiGate-5001FA2 Accelerated packet forwarding and policy enforcement results
in accelerated small packet performance required for voice, video, and other
multimedia streaming applications. The following traffic scenarios are
recommended for the accelerated interfaces:
• Small packet applications, such as voice over IP (VoIP).
The FortiGate-5001FA2 accelerated interfaces provide wire speed
performance for small packet applications.
• Latency sensitive applications, such as multimedia.
The FortiGate-5001FA2 accelerated interfaces add much less latency than
normal (non-accelerated) interfaces.

Connector Type Speed Protocol Description
1 and 2 LC SFP 1000Base-SX Ethernet Two accelerated gigabit SFP interfaces
that can accept optical or copper gigabit
transceivers. These interfaces only
operate at 1000Mbps. The accelerated
interface connectors are inverted
compared to connectors 3 and 4. See
“Installing SFP transceivers” on
page 10 for more information.
