When a stateful service is enabled for the first time on a Tier-0 Gateway, what happens on the NSX Edge node?

When a stateful service (such as NAT or firewall) is enabled for the first time on a Tier-0 Gateway, the

Service Router (SR) is instantiated on the NSX Edge node and automatically connected with the

Distributed Router (DR). This connection enables the Tier-0 Gateway to handle stateful services by

routing traffic through the SR, which manages stateful packet processing, while the DR provides

distributed routing functionality.
