Abstract
Techniques for enabling peer-to-peer transmission of stateful packet flows in a network environment are provided. In certain embodiments, a computer system receives a packet belonging to a stateful flow, accesses flow associating information (e.g., network address) from the packet, determines a computer system comprising a state analysis owner for the stateful flow, using the flow associating information, and transmits the first packet to the second computer system.
