Chris is correct, Effectively every time that you start/stop the firewall process you are both stopping all traffic and you are also clearing the state table so that all connection effectively will be reset. This of course would have an impact in a production environment, especially for remote users because they will lose their connection and have to reauthenticate in order to re-establish their VPN tunnel.

Think about it...if you shutdown the FW service, the state tables are gone. Why would the underlying OS hold some data structure in memory just in case the service that created it decides to respawn?

In other words you can stop and start your firewall in the middle of the day without impacting production.

The State of the connections should be lost.

What is the state table. What happens to the state table when I stop and start the fw-1 service. What happens to connections when the service stops and starts? Say I was doing a ftp file transfer or http file transfer and the service was restarted. What happens to the state table or what happens to the tcp connection?
