saving the entire state of a process to storage such that it can start up again where it left off and not know the difference.

But what is the point to save and restore a TCP state? While local endpoint sleeps, the remote endpoint does not receive any reply. After a while it will reset the connexion, and the local endpoint will not even know. Or is it just for connexions to localhost?

One use case that comes to mind is to restore the state on a different machine. For failover or live migration.
