Bypassing Traffic on Overload
By default, inline sensors inspect all connections. If the traffic load is too high for the inline
sensor to inspect all the connections, some traffic may be dropped. Alternatively, inline sensors
can dynamically reduce the number of inspected connections if the load is too high. This can
improve performance in evaluation environments, but some traffic may pass through without any
access control or inspection.
