The purpose of load balancing is to distribute the load (packets) of a very large pipe over multiple systems. However, does load balancing also distribute the state tables, or is that shared among the firewalls? Lets say I have a large pipe distributed across three firewalls. Each firewall has 10,000 unique entries in the state table. Are these unique entries then shared amongst the other firewalls? Does this mean that in reality each physical firewall will have 30,000 entries in its state table? Or does load balancing mean that not only is the load distributed, but the state table is distributed, allowing each firewall to maintain its own unique state table?
