  • Fixed memory corruption in GTP-U packet processing affecting 5G NSA networks (FTNT-25128)

​​2. Hyperscale Performance Boost​​

  • 38% faster SSL inspection throughput (validated at 650Gbps cluster mode)
  • Reduced NP7 ASIC resource contention by 27% during concurrent deep packet inspection

​​3. Advanced Protocol Support​​

  • Added SRv6 network programming for automated multi-domain traffic steering
  • Extended BGP-LS capabilities for SD-WAN path optimization across 40+ network domains

​​4. Management System Upgrades​​

  • REST API bulk transaction acceleration: 42% faster policy deployment cycles
  • FortiAnalyzer 7.6.5+ integration for real-time threat intelligence correlation
