The NetDevices SG Family delivers guaranteed performance and scalability for multiple services through its unique OnePassTM approach for common packet classification and inspection across different services. With OnePass, the SG Family provides global classification of packets for all services, down to an application's payload level, in a single pass. Once a packet is classified, it is processed only through the appropriate services. With service modules relieved of the need to classify and process every packet, processor efficiency dramatically increases and latency remains the same no matter how many service modules are added to the system.
