1. A physical device comprising:
- one or more communication interfaces configured to receive network traffic; and
one or more processors coupled to the one or more communication interfaces, configured to;
execute a service engine to participate in a distributed network service, wherein;
the distributed network service is provided to at least a first target application instance executing in a first VM on the physical device, and a second target application instance executing in a second VM on a second physical device; and
a shared state of the distributed network service is maintained with respect to the physical device and the second physical device.
