Support Asymmetric Path. When two devices operate normally, a session can
go into the internal network through one device and go out through the other
device. That is, the session passes through one of the two devices randomly
when leaving the internal network, thus to achieve load sharing. The two devices
work in the load sharing mode and serve as backup for each other.
