This is the new feature in SP3 that allows for a software based LUNA VPN driver to be enabled, and encryption calculations to be offloaded to an additional processor.. In other words multi-threaded support for VPNS, and LUNA based encryption offload without hardware. Bitchin! Havent looked to see if this is on the price list, or if its free (yeah right) I will try to remember to check tomorrow, and follow up this post. This week is a good time for things like this. I suspect this is one of the features that they were considering holding back for 5.0, although I have nothing to back that. It will be real interesing to see the performance numbers VS the Chrysalis, VS the Broadcom hardware based LUNA.. It will also be interesting to see the multi-cpu machines (sparc, Intel, RISC etc.) duke it out on the performance tests. Since the new Broadcom card is about US $1000.00 Im not sure I see the point yet...

I can't find documentation on CheckPoint's site about it, but it is listed as a free public download as a new product.
