SecureXL is able to accelerate the Connection Rate using templates.

 SecureXL uses templates to accelerate the connection rate by creating a connection entry in the SecureXL Connections Table without notifying the Firewall kernel for a predefined period of time1. This reduces the load on the Firewall kernel and improves the performance of new connections1. SecureXL uses five attributes to identify a connection and create a template: source address, destination address, source port, destination port, and protocol2. These attributes form a unique 5-tuple that defines a connection2.
