Abstract
A computerized method for directing transmission of a data packet within a distributed cloud computing system is disclosed that includes receiving the data packet by a receiving gateway instance deployed within the distributed cloud computing system, when a session corresponding to the data packet is found via a session lookup, forwarding the data packet to a destination in accordance with the session lookup, when the session is not found via the session lookup, determining whether one least one peer firewall instance is available, and when a first peer firewall instance is available and the data packet is a synchronize packet, forwarding the data packet to the first peer firewall instance. In some instances, the data packet is a TCP packet and in others, the data packet is received from either of a spoke gateway or a transit gateway that is deployed within the distributed cloud computing system.
