Chapter 8 Hardware Acceleration : Hardware acceleration overview : Checking that traffic is offloaded by NP processors : Using the packet sniffer
  
Using the packet sniffer
Use the packet sniffer to verify that traffic is offloaded. Offloaded traffic is not picked up by the packet sniffer so if you are sending traffic through the FortiGate unit and it is not showing up on the packet sniffer you can conclude that it is offloaded.
