Session-Based Forwarding Without the 
Performance Hit
In order to optimize the throughput and latency of the combined 
router and firewall, Junos OS implements session-based forwarding, 
an innovation that combines the session state information of a 
traditional firewall and the next-hop forwarding of a classic router 
into a single operation. With Junos OS, a session that is permitted 
by the forwarding policy is added to the forwarding table along with 
a pointer to the next-hop route. Established sessions have a single 
table lookup to verify that the session has been permitted and to 
find the next hop. This efficient algorithm improves throughput and 
lowers latency for session traffic when compared with a classic 
router that performs multiple table lookups to verify session 
information and then to find a next-hop route. 
Figure 3 shows the session-based forwarding algorithm. When a new 
session is established, the session-based architecture within Junos 
OS verifies that the session is allowed by the forwarding policies. If 
the session is allowed, Junos OS will look up the next-hop route in 
the routing table. It then inserts the session and the next-hop route 
into the session and forwarding table and forwards the packet. 
Subsequent packets for the established session require a single table 
lookup in the session and forwarding table, and are forwarded to the 
egress interface.
