In Prisma Access, Americas, APAC, and Europe are three different theaters worldwide. Each
theater is assigned multiple IP pool blocks. When a tenant has to onboard a new client,
it picks an IP pool block from one of these theaters depending on the region from where
the tenant onboards the client. The clients are assigned IP addresses from the pool
until the last one in the block is used. Each theater contains mappings to the different
Prisma Access locations that fall within its geographical boundary.
Any traffic that flows within the internal Prisma Access nodes; for example, traffic flowing
from one remote network to another. Internal traffic is essentially the traffic that is
being destined or originating to or from the company’s data center.
Any traffic that flows between the Remote Networks nodes or Mobile
Users nodes and the internet. This traffic is sent directly to and
received directly from the internet by these nodes.
