[FW1] State Table

[Tony Wong]

I am trying to understand  how the state table works in checkpoint fw-1. 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?     Thank you very much
