The NP7 is a purpose-built ASIC designed to offload and accelerate network and security functions from the main CPU. Its primary role is to accelerate Layer 2 through Layer 4 processing, including high-speed packet forwarding, encryption, and decryption. The NP7 has a maximum throughput of 200 Gbps when using its 2x 100 Gbps interfaces, but in the 700G architecture, it works in tandem with the SP5 to deliver balanced and powerful performance. This hardware-based acceleration is crucial for achieving the 164 Gbps firewall throughput and the 55 Gbps IPsec VPN throughput, which is 7x the industry average.
