In these devices, dataplane zero, or dp0 for short, functions as the master dataplane and determines which dataplane will be used as the session owner that is responsible for processing and inspection.
The data plane provides all data processing and security detection and enforcement, including:
* (B) All networking connectivity, packet forwarding, switching, routing, and network address translation
* Application identification, using the content of the applications, not just port or protocol
* SSL forward proxy, including decryption and re-encryption
* Policy lookups to determine what security policy to enforce and what actions to take, including scanning for threats, logging, and packet marking
* Application decoding, threat scanning for all types of threats and threat prevention
* Logging, with all logs sent to the control plane for processing and storage E: The following diagram depicts both the hardware and software architecture of the next- generation firewall
