I feel like option D might be relevant too, since local logging can lead to larger log files. I need to think this through more.

I vaguely recall that if the gateway runs out of space, it could affect logging. Is that what option C is getting at?

I remember something about TCP state logging, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the main reason for the log growth.
