Abstract
A network flow switch system that uses an active flow switch and a passive flow switch in conjunction to achieve redundancy or failover. The flow switches switch information between network components via Y-cables that allow both flow switches to remain simultaneously connected to the network devices. A failover link connects the flow switches together and allows the passive flow switch to monitor the status of the active flow switch. The active flow switch performs all switching while the active flow switch is operational.
