When paired with the on-board hardware watchdog or other failsafe, -they provide high availability for the network in the face of software outages or maintenance. - -The software requirements are for a kernel level driver that interfaces with the bypass and watchdog, -as well as for control software. User control can be either the provided standalone executable -(/bin/bpctl) or the API exposed by the Silicom library. - - - |
