Abstract
Disclosed herein are network elements for use in a transport network and methods of using the same. The network elements may comprise an embedded device having a processor, a communication device in communication with the processor, a first memory, a second memory, and a third memory. The third memory may store a hybrid boot sequence comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor of the embedded device cause the embedded device to: determine whether a first kernel image is stored on the first memory; responsive to the determination that the first kernel image is not stored on the first memory, obtain a second kernel image stored on a remote network element; store at least one of the first kernel image and the second kernel image on the second memory as a primary kernel image; and boot the primary kernel image stored on the second memory.
