Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for synchronizing state between multiple smart NICs of a host computer that perform operations using dynamic state information. At a first smart NIC of the plurality of smart NICs, the method stores a set of dynamic state information. The method synchronizes the set of dynamic state information across a communication channel that connects the smart NICs so that each of the smart NICs also stores the set of dynamic state information.
