Pfsync
Computer firewall protocol
- bxr
.su /o /sys /net /if _pfsync .c 
pfsync is a computer protocol[1][2] used to synchronise firewall states between machines running Packet Filter (PF) for high availability. It is used along with CARP to make sure a backup firewall has the same information as the main firewall. When the main machine in the firewall cluster dies, the backup machine is able to accept current connections without loss.[3][4]
