Do we need to enable/disable TCP normalizer?

A. Due to the inability to pass some connection specific information from NPs to control plane, the TCP normalizer possibly does not function properly all the time in the FWSM. Additionally, unique tcp-maps associated with connections cannot be identified. Thus, the FWSM relies on the default tcp-map which possibly do not work correctly for all connections. Because of these limitations, there is a need to enable/disable TCP normalizer in the control plane for traffic going through the firewall. FWSM does not allow tuning in default tcp-map parameters.
