v18 was supposed to introduce a new core. Anyone noticed anything different regarding this ?

XG v18 changes many parts of what is core to the firewall. The data-plane change in itself is a large under taking - from a kernel upgrade to the new DAQ structure. The UI hasn't changed much, however, the core packet processing does.

Xstream SSL Inspection, Deep packet inspection (DPI) Engine, FastPath offloading, improved enterprise NAT engine, Threat intelligence analysis, Proxy-less malware scanning and web filtering - are a few example of the foundational improvements with the new Xstream architecture.
