Chapter 9 High Availability : An introduction to the FGCP : About the FGCP : Session Failover
  
Session Failover
FGCP session failover maintains TCP, SIP and IPsec VPN sessions after a failure. You can also configure session failover to maintain UDP and ICMP sessions. Session failover does not failover multicast, or SSL VPN sessions. Session failover may not be required for all networks because many TCP/IP, UDP, and ICMP protocols can resume sessions on their own. Supporting session failover adds extra overhead to cluster operations and can be disabled to improve cluster performance if it is not required.
