Explanation
The following are some important design and deployment considerations relative to the behavior of this HA model: - The Standby NSX Edge leverages the expiration of a specific "Declare Dead Time" timer to detect the failure of its Active peer. This timer is configured by default to 15 seconds and can be tuned down to a minimum value of 6 seconds (via UI or API call) and it is the main factor influencing the traffic outage experienced with this HA model. - Once the Standby gets activated, it starts all the services that were running on the failed Edge (routing, firewalling, etc.). While the services are restarting, traffic can still be routed leveraging the information in the NSX Edge forwarding table that was kept in synch between the Active and the Standby Edge units. The same applies to the other logical services, since the state is synchronized and available also for FW, LB, NAT, etc. Note: for the LB service only the persistence state is synchronized between the Active and the
