Throughput

L1 Bithead

We have a Palo Alto 3260 firewall with four 10 Gbps SFP+ ports, but its maximum throughput is 8.8 Gbps. How does the firewall handle the traffic entering through the SFP+ ports, considering the potential incoming traffic exceeds the firewall's throughput capacity? How does the device manage this traffic, and what happens to the packets when the traffic exceeds the firewall's 8.8 Gbps throughput limit? Additionally, what exactly does the 8.8 Gbps throughput mean in this context?

Thank you.
