## Symptoms

- * When disabling SecureXL with "fwaccel off" in R80.20 and above, traffic is still being accelerated.

* Output of the "`fwaccel stat`" command shows that SecureXL is disabled:

  Example:

  ```
  
  [Expert@FW]# fwaccel stat
  +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  |Id|Name     |Status       |Interfaces              |Features                      |
  +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  |0 |SND      |disabled     |eth4,eth5,eth6,eth7     |Acceleration,Cryptography     |
  |  |         |             |                        |Crypto: Tunnel,UDPEncap,MD5,  |
  |  |         |             |                        |SHA1,NULL,3DES,DES,AES-128,   |
  |  |         |             |                        |AES-256,ESP,LinkSelection,    |
  |  |         |             |                        |DynamicVPN,NatTraversal,      |
  |  |         |             |                        |AES-XCBC,SHA256               |
  +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  
  Accept Templates : disabled by Firewall
                     Layer Network disables template offloads from rule #22
                     Throughput acceleration still enabled.
  Drop Templates   : enabled
  NAT Templates    : disabled by Firewall
                     Layer Network disables template offloads from rule #22
                     Throughput acceleration still enabled.
  ```

## Cause

Starting from R80.20, communication between SecureXL and Firewall-1 is asynchronous.  
All connections that were accelerated continue to be handled by SecureXL.
