Explanation

Session continuity is the ability to maintain a connection between a client and a server without interruption or loss of data. When deploying an IDS on a high-volume network, the need to distribute the load across multiple sensors would create a technical problem of session continuity, as the sensors may not be able to track the state of the sessions and correlate the packets from different sources. This could result in false positives or false negatives, or degrade the performance of the IDS.
