You missed Ong's point. Imagine the following :
1. a telnet connection is established thru primary director
2. connection sync'ed to backup
3. no more telnet packets for a while
4. connection remove from backup (but still on primary)
5. primary failure
6. backup taking over
7. incoming packet for telnet session
Ooops ! The backup director doesn't know this connection, whereas a few
seconds before the primary director did know it !
